So I believe this video is from a PH member, whilst we have had questionable driving standards at Sunday services I think we can say we've never had anything quite as bad as wheels day at Aldershot on Friday.

I'm all for some fun but with cars lining the street and families (some with pushchairs) walking down the road, brains clearly haven't engaged.

And its always the police ruining the fun. Of course. If the OP is going to be moaning about departing venues then this one should be the target. Not some little wheel spin departing a venue on what I believe is private land?
I hadn't seen that one to be fair. Also the aldershot roads are public highways that's Rushmoor road they are exiting onto.

Seriously what are you moaning about?

Isn't that a 60mph road... and you are complaining about cars doing speeds of 0-30mph.

If this was so dangerous, exactly how many accidents occurred? I didn't see any in the video.
Really??

Just because an accident didn't happen doesn't mean it is right or safe? All it takes is for one lapse of concentration (think Morgan departure down the road from rushmoor) or lack of skill to hit pedestrians that were clearly present in the video.

And I was actually highlighting that when people get on their high horses about cars leaving a PHSS that we really are a well behaved bunch compared to other events.

My only point was referring to the high percentage of American muscle cars. Not sure what the event was, as there were a lot of classic fords too,so I'm sure it covered lots of other Marque's too.

But it does seem that the demographic of owners of American muscle cars fall,into the show off type of owners who by their regular repeated actions manage to alienate the vast majority of normal car fans and enthusiasts .
They tried to move it to dunsfold when it got to big for rushmoor a few years ago and that turned into a big failure. I think the event has got to big for a small club to run yet to small for a business to run at a more suitable venue.

I always thought blackbushe would be a suitable venue but I'm not sure how much space there is these days as it's been a while since I was last there.
