If you take a look at the Rally website, it will tell the story. There were a lot of unhappy people. There was triple the police presence of past years and they had a zero tolerance policy. There was radar set up all over the place.
They moved the location of things and never told anybody. All the people I spoke to said that they won't be returning next year. The whole mood this year was not good. People were even complaining that the Thunder Ride ( didn't participate this year) was too slow.
I know how some of you hate it, but they still managed to sneak in a half an hour of stunting by the camp grounds. It was quite a site.
All in all, I had a great time with my friends, riding and getting drunk but I don't have to ride 5 hours to do that.
