Yes it does take a dollar to get your car into the meet... Do I agree with it 100%, No but it does go for a good cause. It does take time and money to run something that large. Just an example when was the last time you went to a hardware store and bought 300 feet of extension cord. it isn't cheap, or a generator to power the little light that is there.
As for racing. No there isn't any racing that goes on around the meet for one reason, and one reason only if it gets busted it will go back to the meet and shut it down. Then there would be no meet at all.
Seems like a good reason to charge a buck. maybe weed out some of the garbage. Oh and thanks for classifying me as a "collar popping flatbill Monster hat wearing douch bags"  lol
But yeah I have been with the RKC crew for 5 years now back when the meets where out in maple grove, and it isn't the same. Some for the good, and some for the not so good.

Don't get me wrong, bud. Your GSX is one of the few cars their that I like to look at. Plus, you seem to be a decent guy. I'm just pointing out the fact that 2/3 of the people in attendance were flat billed douche-tards. This was also back when the meets were held out at MAP. They are too clicky, and my friends and I did NOT feel welcome.
Hell, my friend who drives a Lumina was told he couldn't park in the show lot. He has a 3.4 top end swap, exhaust and intake, LTZ interior, and a Monte Body swap. He has put a lot of work into his car, and to be told he can't park in the meet lot was bullshit because the dude running the gate didn't think a "base" Lumina was worthy of the RKC throne.
Again, I'm not too up to date on the politics of RKC, they might have changed. They might be more open to letting specific cars in the lot, IDK. But the way we were treated was bullshit. Heck, convince me that Troy and the gang have changed, and I might make an appearance.
