It was good to finally meet Chris and see his very nicely modded SS and see it take on the mud pit. Glad to help with the alt and also glad to hear that you made it home.
It was a lotta fun to see and hang out with everybody.
I don't know how next year's show is gonna top this one, but I'm already looking forward to finding out.

WCSS 15 Report Card //

Camping behavior at this years show was far less than acceptable.

Our staff was met with:
- Rude people
- Burnouts, Donuts, and Aggressive driving through the grounds
- Beer cans/bottles, Cigarettes, and other garbage in areas NOBODY should have been in.
- Verbal fights with threats of physical violence over past bad deals and using the hose too long.
- Saran wrapped cars, Shaving cream on cars, silly string on cars.
- People attempting to drive their cars when obviously very drunk.
- Assault, Attempted Vehicle Theft, Boldface lying, and group corroboration.

Walking through the gate at WCSS is not a free pass to do whatever the hell you want. Dan and I do not invest our time, money, and put our names on the line to be your baby sitters. People have shown a lack of respect for the show, and others. Demonstrated by their unwillingness to participate (probably just there to camp/get smashed) and by people leaving the awards ceremony before it was completed (but definitely immediately after the final raffle prize).

This event has degraded to the point where we have to act as police in the campgrounds. We don't host this show to be police. We host the show for the people, for the friends, for the good times. It blows to be viewed as the police and every time we walk into a camp site it's automatically assumed that some one is in trouble. I'd love to be able to walk up, say hey, have a drink and hang out with out with everyone without having to be concerned with what's going on in the campgrounds around us. But I can't. We have to be police. And that's not what we're in this for.

The antics crossed a line on Saturday night, when one of my Staff, one of my close friends, was injured. Why am I putting on an event where I am putting the people that help me in danger? How is that worth it to me? On top of doing something stupid, this person avoided acknowledging they did anything wrong, avoided apology, and would not even give us their real name. This person lied to my face, and showed no remorse for his actions. His "friends" and those camping around him helped disguise his identity, and would not cooperate with me or my staff.

At this point, I have a list of 5 cars / names that are banned from all future events that I am a part of. All of them early legacy's that were camped just off one of the main driving paths. Their car numbers are: 202, 83, 277, 56, 423 . At this point we are not posting names or license plates until we have legal counsel tell us we can/can't.

As Dan and I move into the off season, we are demotivated and disheartened. We had already begun talking with next years location, but now are rethinking if deposits should be made to hold the date we wanted. We are going to do some soul searching and see if this is something we want to continue to be a part of.

We have brainstormed a couple changes and solutions...
- No Show
- No Camping
- Camping by invite only
- Event by invite only
- Paid, 3rd party Security personnel or off duty cop
- Dry event

Sincerely,

Tex
