Go to car shows where the only motivation for a person to go is that they are a car enthusiast. Gear head type shows are full of people who are just like us.

Ovoid car shows next to government housing projects, where people can walk to the show for something to do. There are people living there that do not make good choices. Even here most of the people will be respectful, but some will not be. Those who are not have no clue, and you are not going to enlighten them. If you try to, they will enjoy the drama and drag you to their level.

Ovoid car shows where non car related organizations are raising money for themselves. Churches could fall in this category. Again most of the people will be great, but the odds of running into a problem go up.

PS
I never walk away from the Cobra until the pipes have cooled off, if there are people around - especially young children.
