What a bummer. This was an incredible cruise on Sunday mornings, the last Sunday of every month being the biggest. I've seen real cobras, F40s, Veyrons, some priceless cars at this event.

Well, I noticed some guy getting heated up in a conversation with a dude with a dog. After the guy left, I spoke to the dude with the dog. Turns out, [the guy he was arguing with] is the "messenger" from the law firm hired by the property manager. He approaches people with nice cars telling them that there's no more car show and they have to leave. If anyone has beef with him, he serves them papers. I think the papers are some notification of intention to sue or something.
Anyway, he told me that because of liability (insurance) issues, the property manager does not want the meet there anymore (2-300 fast cars, 1,500 spectators). The guy said that they are going to evict VCR and ultimately shutdown the whole meet.
I kinda understand, but, like you said, the way they are going about it is bad. But I wouldn't be surprised if they are well within their rights. Not practicing grace in these matters can't be against the law. In fact, they probably found the cheapest thugs they can hire. The ruder the better.
Too bad this is how it's turning out. Looking at it the best I can from both sides, in the end, the property manager has every right to do what they need to do (whatever that is). Too bad it's been polarized like it has. Apparently there was quite a bit of drama last week.

Real shame it was shut down. Apparently 2 business owners complained about the event even though the event occurred while their businesses were CLOSED. The event occurs Sundays at 7am, their businesses didn't open until 10am.
Clowns... I know every time I've been, I buy coffee and a bagel from the local coffee shop. What a shame.
