This group of Brand X owners show up early and begin to take over just about the most prime spot in the racer paddock and spread out using up the room that no less than 25 race cars could have used, they had maybe 10 show cars. The roped of the area in crime scene type tape and pulled out their lounge chairs and began telling each other how great their Brand X cars were. Not a single one was a track car nor did they ever get "on-track". They were more interested in showing everyone just how good their cars were and just how good they were, instead all they did was cause hard feeling with everyone around for the whole weekend!!!!!!!!!! When asked to move, they about had a fit and refused as they said they were entiitled to "their" spot...... Biggest bunch of a$$holes I ever saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard about this one from several fellow "Club Cranky" members who were at this very same event, makes me sad to say I used to own one of those "brand X" cars.........
