We would like to thank everyone for attending yesterday’s rally! Overall, we had an amazing turnout, an amazing drive, & raised money for an amazing cause!!
All in, we raised $500+ for the One Love Foundation (exact tally coming soon). Thank you to Jack, Brendon, Josh & the rest of those helping QC plan, as well as Tanner, Jacob, & the rest of the Capital Auto Club team for helping promote & grow the event! Thank you Randy & the Savage Garage team for making it in time from Harrisburg, glad you made it just in time!!
We estimate that there were approximately 200 cars and 300 people on the rally, which is almost double the number of registrations, & quadruple the number of people we anticipated. The Urbana Park & Ride holds 200 cars, and we nearly filled the lot. This attendance is almost 7x the number of attendee’s at any prior QuattroCruise!
For future rallies… & to those wondering…
- We had two minor accidents, one due to lack-of-braking, one due to a rogue shopper clipping a parked car.
- Bollinger’s was given notice of a crowd 60+ attending Sunday afternoon & guaranteed us they could handle it… future venue’s will be more thoroughly vetted to make sure they **actually** can accommodate the crowd.
- Thurmont Police Department had 24 calls during the rally (call every two minutes), which unfortunately is a byproduct of a rally of this caliber, but they weren’t willing to allow any gathering in the parking lot. Next rally, we will attempt to find private property that gives explicit consent & coordinate with local law enforcement to have a gathering. COVID currently makes this extremely difficult.
- The next rally WILL BE CAPPED at a lower number of cars. We actually created traffic on google maps (if anyone was wondering) due to the immense amount of cars we had traveling the same route.
For the photographers who got pictures & videographers who made content, please add them to the drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MaBMWgLDnrr7x_qUcPEn9NLJuZugi7nn?usp=sharing.
We may post these, and will definitely credit the photographer who took them!
If you’d like to email photo’s or video’s instead, please email [email protected] (we’re working on setting up a QuattroCruise email).
Thank you again for an amazing Sunday!
