Let me start by introducing myself. I am a board member and the Motorsports Event Coordinator for, what I believe, is the Camaro club in question from the OP first and ongoing posts. That being said I would like to point out a few things, as well offer up a few suggestions to assist you in calming the issues you may have with our group.

First let me help you with your very valid point: reckless driving.
We have a set of bylaws written by our founding members and in those "burnouts and other reckless and dangerous driving" will not be tolerated. I ask that if you see one of our members acting in this manner please contact me via PM here so that the issue can be addressed. I cannot be at every event so I ask that if we are not conducting ourselves properly behind the wheel you allow myself or another board members or co-chairs to deal with the situation so that it does not happen in the future.... However with that being said please keep in mind that there are performance mods that many of our members have done that cannot be seen, only heard or felt. The latter (felt) should only be displayed in a controlled environment such as a track.... But I know a lot of the time I am asked to start and rev my engine because they want to hear the exhaust.

Second point: taking up too many spaces. I too will agree that this can prove annoying but I know some of our members are very careful with their vehicles because they are like children to them. That being said I am QUITE sure that if asked to make room or tighten up their lines they would... In a heartbeat... But once again if you see they don't after being asked to... Please contact me, I will again, if necessary, address the individual(s) at fault.

Third Point: us waving you over and asking you to join... I am sorry we have offended you to the point you do not feel the desire to join us. It saddens me to know this... Because we really are a great group of different individuals! Granted we have our brain fart DBag moments... But who doesn't... Right? We motion for you to join us because we share at least one common bond. The Camaro.

Last point: our shirts. Sorry this bothers you, but there is nothing I can or will do about this.

Once again I mention, myself and the others on the board cannot make every show, event, or track day... (But trust me we try) if you happen to see a member of C5G acting in a way that reflects negatively on the club please let me know so that it can be handled.

I thank you for your patience and assistance with this... We really are a great group... I hope you will have an opportunity to see that and maybe, just maybe, hang out with us sometime... We are hosting a charity car show coming up next month to benefit CMN.... Perhaps we will see you there!
