I don't know what happened, but I never got an impression of elitism.
There were spots where people went a little quick, but we are all in performance cars. Regardless of law's, this is the type of car owner you are associating with. If you are uncomfortable with the speeds others are doing, Don't do it. I was certainly not the fastest around (You and I are in the same car), I only drove to what I was comfortable doing.
Sorry you felt you couldn't do the same.
P.S. this wasn't SAU, if it were, many wouldn't have been doing what they were doing.
