Although it’s not sanctioned by the Town of Ocean City, the 17th Annual H20 International (H20i) event, which is actually held in Whaleyville, markets Ocean City as the destination and most of the participants stay in the resort area while here for the event.
Some videos on You Tube and event-associated Facebook pages document some ruckus scenes, including burnouts and races on Coastal Highway. Others show mobs of people and vehicles in private and city-owned parking lots. In one case, a fight broke out between two men and shoving matches are seen through a sea of people at night in a parking lot. In another video taken at the convention center parking lot, an OCPD vehicle is shown feet away from a car executing a burnout and the police vehicle being unable to move as a result of all the onlookers.

It once was that "there is safety in numbers". This is not the case any longer. I believe that the VW fans have started something that is fun and educational but the people that hang on just to interject bad behavior are helping to ruin a good event. The question then becomes ..how can we have a good event with people who are purist for the brand and get rid of the rest. I don't think you can. I know the event is not an OC sanctioned event but they are going to have to prepare for the event better regardless. "This isn't our event" isn't flying any more. Prepare for the situation and hire extra support if needed or call in other branches of law enforcement to back you up. The camp ground could only sell tickets to registered VW owners instead of anyone with a vehicle. When the actions of a group threaten to ruin an even for all...that is sad.
oc = madness. what more would you expect. but the businesses made money as usual!
Ocean City is a Hell Hole, and you idiots are surprised by what happens there
To quote the famous Sgt Al Warner, "Get the riot batons & helmets, this crap is going to stop"
Was this the "import car show "or is that coming because in past years you can't move in OC when that is going on.
Jack Richards - that isn't the case anymore. OC is not what it was...family resort it is not. GREED rules the day in OC. Founding families must be looking down hanging their heads in shame. Those in charge now need to grow a pair and stop the madness.
There is no way in the world that we will be able to prepare for what is coming soon...so it does not matter what they gear up for.
