Yes the traffic and organization was bad but it was good to get the car out and see that there is still a great VL scene

I think C4C needs to move away from the suburbs that are near to the city if those are the sort of numbers it's going to get. Obviously I don't think anybody expected the insane turnout which is probably the main reason it quickly became very disorganised. It's good that most people were well behaved though, with numbers like that anything could have happened. There were a few morons that stood out though, like the P-plater in the sh*tbox silver 80's Datsun that kept flying along behind people on Plenty Rd then kept having to slam the brakes on to avoid hitting the car infront. Saw him do it a few times, slid through the Settlement Rd intersection and nearly hit a Senator in front of him. Just an idea but throwing it out there, next year, run it on a Saturday starting at Caribbean Gardens (it's closed to the public on a Sat, so maybe see if they'll donate it) it has plenty of room to fit 1000's of cars, it has two entrances, (one onto a 6 lane highway and one onto a 4 lane main road) It's directly next to Eastlink so run the cruise onto Eastlink, straight onto the Monash and finish up at Lardner Park. Get's it away from the inner suburbs, less traffic, straight run and both venues have the capacity.
