PM me on what went down on 7-11, I still don't have the full details, if fact, I have very little details. Lastly, all it takes for something to come back to life is someone willing to fight for it.
I don't quit very easily. Hence, why you guys are going to scare me off of VA DRiven....
Also I rep'ed you.
New video is step number one. Trust me, that alone will help.
Second. You had the backing of the Sheriff's Dept. before. Unfortunately, it was financial backing, coming out of the attendee's pockets. It's always been like that, and it always will. It's a simple matter of work smarter, not harder. Yes, if you do something dumb when you leave pulling onto Gordon Rd., you should get a ticket. If you're that dumb, you should get as many as possible.
However, if I ride past them with my windows up, not speeding, not spinning tires, and after using my turn signal, and they pull me over, I'm going to be a little pissed. Yes, my windows are too dark, and yes, I know I'm breaking the law, but them sitting there waiting for something that trivial is absolute bullshit. That's the issue at hand.
The 7-11 thing doesn't need to be PMed. It needs to be out in the open. So I'm going to, but I'm going to leave out names. And I'll only hit the highlights.
This happened after all the stuff went down at the church. Three friends of mine decided to go stop by and see who all was still out, not knowing anything about the events that happened that night. So, when they saw nobody there, they went to 7-11 (as they/we have done many nights when we've left the church).
So, as they're sitting there, out of the cars, with the cars turned off, the cops roll up. One of the first things one officer said to another was, "Write them all for exhaust."
Ummmm..... wtf? Vehicles not running getting exhaust tickets? How about vehicles with stock exhaust getting exhaust tickets? And yes, they really were stock exhausts. But you know, lowered Honda = aftermarket exhaust 100% of the time, right? Wrong.
A ton of other tickets went down, a total of 10 between 3 people. I wasn't there, but personally I wish I was. Either nobody would have gotten tickets, or I would have ended up in jail that night for running my mouth. I've had enough of the power trips.
I'm not saying you can't bring this town/scene back, but I'm just trying to give you a heads up that you're taking on a lot more than I think you realize. And I can't speak for anyone else but myself, but I'm not trying to scare anyone off.
