I've been following this issue closely and it seems that Dave Buschur is having a meeting with the NRP officials and Norwalk Chief of Police about things this year. Moreso, it sounds like the city of Norwalk is making the DSM community the scapegoat for all the shit that happens during the year at other events. Even local Mustang guys told DSMers that we're nothing compared to when they come to town, but given the same issues, the sport compacts will get more static for it than the domestics would.

This year's shootout was very well-behaved and, aside from a few glitches (the Canadians assumed fireworks were legal due to the shop selling them, just as they are in Canada), the Shootout attendees were very well-behaved. It's not our call, nor is it Dave's, but the people of Norwalk's.

No worries. There will be an event one way or another, I'm sure. Dave will not let us all down.
