    Meh, I did not read all of this thread...but I can imagine most of it. I will go ahead and side with the group that calls this scene trash. Its pointless to go too a meet and watch nothing but $500 rice rockets by the droves! You find one nice car for every 50 pieces of shit out there at these type of meets/events.

    I also agree with the OP on never going again. After last years cluster fuck which was one of the worst meets ever....I said I would never go again. Well got up at 10am Sunday morning with nothing else too do and decided to go anyways. Just like last year...what a complete waste of time. The Mainstream Welcome to Atlanta meet was leaps and bounds better than the IA meet.

    They want to make IA better...do not allow anyone under 21 to attend. Hire officers to walk around, they see a parking violation or someone doing something stupid...ticket them and tell them to leave. Simple as that.

    That wouldn't do anything, there were morons of all ages in attendance. I know 16 year old kids who are more mature than some "adults", so your logic is flawed.

    Not really. i will take a trade off of stopping the 75% of under age morons from getting in with there $500 rice rockets, in comparison to the 20% of morons over 21. You will see a nicer collection of cars vs one nice car per 50 shitty cars. So therefore...my logic is fine.

    My mistake, I didn't realize you had hard and fast facts and figures as to the percentage of morons per age demographic and were an authority on the issue. You're right.

    If you do not believe me then your one of the morons who I am talking about. There is a much larger % of morons who attend these meets under 21 then there are over 21.

    You're missing the mark dude, you're trying to lay down a blanket statement that you have ZERO support to back it up with. I'm not saying young kids don't do dumb shit. I am saying you are wrong by targeting a specific age demographic and pulling figures out of your ass. How about we say blacks, mexicans, and all other minorities aren't allowed to attend because they drive these "$500 rice rockets"? Same concept, you can't make assumptions like that, it makes YOU look like the moron. And since you like to name call, you're the moron who used "your" instead of "you're".

    You really must be part of that demographic as your defending it so hard. In all the years I have been to shows its always the kids under age that do the most dumb shit. I agree there is morons north of that age...but the vast majority is below. I think you really are just blind to it.

    To the last sentence...did not realize this was GrammarCheckAtlanta.
