Jason, there is no way your car wouldn't have been welcome unless several hundred showed up. I think reality is setting in, that this is likely to be big. We had a mini-C&C crisis today and it does make it clear that even if it were okay with RTC (which it is not) we'd still have to define the event. I think that should now be obvious to everyone who was there. So, that being said, we will have to come up with the right way to both define "exotic" so that it is more inclusive. Second, there are a lot of people who want to take pictures so we need to consider the setup. The big F450 would have made it difficult to get some field shots. Do we park classics against one wall as we did today? If we do get a lot of white cars, and we want to group them together, we've got to deal with that too. We can do themes, even invite groups of non-exotics for a sub-section where they can both meet each other and still be a part of everything else. That way if a group of Mini owners recently released from house arrest want to congregate in their own mini-Mini group we can somehow make that work. If it gets out of hand, RTC won't want us there so we've got to tread lightly and keep working the problem.

Far from it. We all see you as simply out to create a problem where we don't think one exists. Paul's comments were heart-felt by a lot of us.

TypeRryan- The reason we decided to call it Exotics at RTC is because that is our focus. We do not include JDMs in that general definition of Exotics. While we want you to come and meet and talk with some of the owners, we're not going to broaden our focus to include JDMs because comments like yours keep some of the exotics away that we are trying to attract in the first place. I'm sorry but JDMs do not bring out the cars or the audience we want, or RTC wants to attract. It's the rare, the expensive, the extremely unusual, etc., that are more inline with what RTC wants to draw and where we feel more comfortable taking this venue. You always have Southcenter and any other event you want to create on your own. I encourage you to look closely at the wider shots, more of which will be posted soon. They show what is and isn't interesting to people and we are looking to build this event into something rare and special that can sustain itself year around. Your comment only reinforces why we had concerns in the first place.

The end result (as of right now) of the gathering is that it is a Euro car gathering "mainly" and everyone is invited to check things out and enjoy the cars.

Guys: good turn out today! This location is soooo much better for EOM that the previous. That is the reason i only went there a couple times. Now here is great! many places to go to and you fit in plenty of cars and walk around without getting hit by a car driving by 
A couple ideas for organizers: I understand why some people on 6speed are frustrated and I see where they are coming from. The Majority here doesn't have the cars you are talking about in Cali. the "6speed" events I have always put together were for our group and others from F-chat and Lambopower, that was it! One way to "limit" the cars and the type it sounds like you are leaning towards is "European" and pre 78 cars. the "exotic" cars are mainly European anyways so that would really limit where you are wanting to direct the gathering.
Another idea: Decide how many cars you want to fit in the area we had today and choose those cars to be there by say 9:00am or somewhere around that time. then you don't have a guy an exotic mad because there is a GT3 in the show area when he is driving Carerra GT. This could also limited you having 15-20 360's and 430's and 10 other cars. Why look at the same thing over and over again if you want to truly have a "show" area over a parking area for a car you feel is exotic if it is worth $170 or more new.

your car is sick. i like how you got mods done to it and dont look like the rest of the crew. cars that look the same and perform like they do from the factory is pretty lame. i attended some of these meets before. seemed like just your typical bolt ons and ppl with to much money.originality is key.
