This is from last summer but still kinda relevant

Yesterday afternoon at the launch was scary, first i almost got in a head-on while entering the launch area, i was watching the people on the boardwalk waiting to cross while a fellow yakker comes flying out of the entrance and squeeezes between me and the barrier

.....in the 15min it took me to unload i saw several variations of the above scenario complete with engine revving, burn-outs and honking.This has pretty much been the daily scene for the last couple weeks with the soft sand, sun and crowds.

Im just as lazy as the next guy and would hate to loose the right to launch here, but i'm afraid that all it would take is a child to get injured and 10minute video clip showing the recent launch antics and city counsil would vote to shut it down (except to licenced commercial groups). Any ideas on steps we can take to help this problem before the lifeguards take this to the city council and ask for a closure.
