How does one go about ruining an event and drive away fans?

Just saw this - unbelieveable.

 

Hehe reminds of cops always camping out after an event at the dragstrip.

 

Sounds like someone forgot to pay off the coppers

 

Stoopid doesn't even begin to discribe it...

 

Okay, that was just stupid.

 

Blatant Fuckstickery. Unreal...

 

No need to pay them off just call in a favor from the governor.

 

Where is Utah Hwy. 80?

Did they build it since I was out there last September?

 

Got family at my house right now who are all from Utah and have very deep roots in law enforcement there. Mentioned this story and got the unanimous response: "That's Utah for ya".

 

wow...

 

Unless they've had serious, documented problems with violators in the past after such events it really is a bit much. The number one priority should be ensuring proper and safe traffic control for the people leaving.

And if you're going to do spot 'safety' inspections, it better be for every vehicle in line - not just the motorcycles.

 

Completely unsubstantiated opinion on my part, but sounds as though the cops were trying to keep the stupid down. Happened several times at Mido Ohio in the 90's.

wow!

 

Just cops being cops...

 

I can absolutely see how the intent became convoluted.

Glad it was corrected.

 

yes. Sadly I remember those days here. I kinda enjoy Vintage days more. Of course I fit there with my age abit better:up:
