I went to the fbod BBQ. It was an great. Laid back atmosphere and nice guys. Newman. I’m sorry you think it’s a bunch of bros that haven’t grown up. Also, the average age of the gathering was higher than most nyspeed meets I’ve been to but that’s kinda joelsters fault… ---

I am sorry that we had 100s of people at our BBQ. Everyone who came had fun. Just like every year we have had it. Sorry nobody at our meets wants to watch you hop on a rope or do “rad” shit. You don’t have to talk shit about a bunch of car enthusiast who enjoy a good time. Lol @ burnouts being lame but that is what all of you biters were into last year. ---

Oh you guis. Seriously though, I would’ve went to the WNY Fbody Meet had I been off that off. I’m game for either because I know people from both boards. Who gives a shit, if it sounds like a good time, I’d go. If it sounds like I’ll get herpes, I’ll go. Wait, no. On the herpes bit. ---

So the debate is which is cooler? Driving over the speed limit on back roads vs doing burn outs? ---

So really what I’ve gathered on this thread now is that people are trying to put this cruise down because of the lack of people. Honestly, this cruise was a fucking blast. All back roads that required cars to not be slammed to the ground or they would bottom out a lot. Hence the lack of people as well (they bailed part way through the cruise) As for the Fbody guys, you are all talking a big game and never came out to this meet yet still post on this forum. Why are you talking shit about a meet setup by the forum admin yet you couldnt partake in the fun we had. Also noted is that Fbody cruise I believe was done when people were still out of school, still the summer…etc. not the beginning of a semester and not the end of summer/beginning of spring where people are closing things up and needing to take time to get ready for winter. Also the tires being smoked are not from my doing burnouts. I just drive the car hard and like to get the ass end sideways around turns. To me, thats more fun than standing still spinning tires. (my own personal opinion) Burnouts are easy, take a turn and kick a car sideways and not spin out. So really my question is, why didnt any Fbody guys go for a cruise with us down to Letchworth? I’m guessing because of weight and suspension setup that they wouldnt be able to handle the speeds and roads we were taking. IDk, I’m sure they could have but none bothered to show it. ---

My 4,098# SUV handled the speed and I definitely did not have any clearance issues. An F-bod could have done it easily. ---

> [@joelster](#): > > I think that you tend to over-do your meets. Keep it simpler and you’ll get more participation. Find a park, reserve a shelter, announce it, and that’s it. I don’t know why you’re still stuck on the participation numbers. Our goal has never been to bring out record numbers of people but rather to do something fun, different and automotive related as evidenced by nearly _every single meet we’ve ever organized._ 🙂 It should be painfully obvious that choosing a park that’s 1+ hour away and then adding on a 2+ hour cruise that goes completely out of the way is certainly going to limit participation… [_but maybe that was the point…_](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?231817-%ABOFFICIAL%BB-NYSpeed-Summer-Meet-LETCHWORTH-Sunday-September-16th&p=3387148#post3387148) :oj: > [@JayS](#): > > Funny how this thread: > [http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?157636-\*UPDATED\*-2010-NYSpeed-Spring-Meet-amp-BBQ!-Sunday-May-2nd./page8&highlight=burnouts](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?157636-*UPDATED*-2010-NYSpeed-Spring-Meet-amp-BBQ!-Sunday-May-2nd./page8&highlight=burnouts) > > Was all about the NYSpeed meet people defending burnouts in a public park.

I wasn’t there when they occurred and afterwards moved our meets to Lancaster, rented the burnout box and smoked tires until sunset to avoid this situation again. Unless there was another point you were trying to make? :gotme: ---

Not sure what the debate is over Someone said if they want to see burn outs goto a WNY fbody meet Then people proceeded to post videos from multiple years of WNY fbody meets with burn outs Not to mention the burn out box the past few years at nyspeed meets You people get trolled so easily ---
