That lasted about 2 weeks before people stopped showing up on Sundays.

To me, it sounds like the lot owner was tired of picking up everyone's garbage. Don't blame him a bit.

SIDE NOTE

Carbon Fiber arrives tomorrow.

At this event people did not leave trash behind. Everyone at this event know where the trash cans are and how to use them. Most attendees at the the Grill57 Cruise are not your average teenager or tuner. Everyone is very respectful of the premises and everyone else.

I'm working from home today. When I first walked out around 10am (in Brier Creek), it reeked of burning plastic and I thought a bldg was on fire.
