Like so many of you, we have a local group of Pelicans (and a few strays) who like to get out for some spirited driving adventures together. Recently I've been hearing some disturbing reports of individuals being held responsible for organizing and/or leading outings if someone has a problem related to their driving skills or their vehicle (trying to keep up or navigate the twisties). Have any of you had experience or addressed this potiential issue?
I've drafted this letter (for drivers interested in tagging along) to stave off being held responsible for others on our frequent drives.
Input would be helpful guys!

Greetings,

So... you’re interested in the Prescott Pelican Posse.

Actually some of us (who liked go out for fun drives together) were constantly being asked about our little cliché and about tagging along. In the first year we’ve gotten to know over 35 cars with drivers interested in knowing other like minded enthusiasts. With only two exceptions we are all Porsche, BMW, Lotus and on rare occasions... others.

We don’t invite motorcycles, Corvettes, Mustangs or street-racers. We don’t condone reckless or competitive driving or passing without being pointed around. We try to keep a respectable distance between cars and generally drive at a “spirited” pace.

Although we are not an organization, official group or club we are an assembly of like-minded friends who want to be included when there are opportunities to get out with other performance sports car lovers. There are no officers or leaders and no real order for that matter. One of us will send out a phone or email notice and information about the local runs as opportunities arise. Drivers who would like to be considered as a “guest” (if they’re not a Porsche/BMW or Lotus owner). Getting onto our list depends on you and your car. Drivers who create risks or problems won’t be invited back.

As a result we have a informal mix of ages, cars (street and track), driving experience levels and a people who love the twisties right here in our own backyard and.... occasionally, other places (road trips).

To get you started please send a current picture of your ride, a description of your car’s set-up and your contact information (phone/email). THese cautions and selective restrictions are offered for everyone’s protection and preference to choose who they drive with.
