Tiff,
They were basically saying that although the organisers have claimed it not to be a race, people looking to participate are talking about power figures of their cars on various sites and so have a different view of what it is all about.

Whilst talking he held up a print out of a PF chatroom page with your sig near the top, no specific mention to the site or yourself was made and it was only a glimps of the page but felt it was worth a mention. More than likely they have tapped into a thread on the topic and printed a page off.

They said that they would be looking to cancel the event if the organisers couldn't convince them that it wasn't going to be a race.

The po po have only got to read some of the claims in here to ban every Cossie user from the entire world

Seriously though many critisize the police..but is it any wonder we are targetted when for just an example off the top of my head...Matt claiming 175mph on a public road

Its not all there fault!
