Bayne has been keeping me up to date with the Fun Runs after I lost the ability to join, and after he told me about the recent drama I decided to come and have a look myself. And my god, what has happened?
When I was in Fun Runs, we still had the occasional muppet. Anyone remember baldslacker? He was the reason behind many crashes - but he noticed this. If he felt he was harming the room rather than contributing to it, he'd back out from the race and watch it instead which calmed all tension. From the looks of things, people are acknowledging their problems, whether it being down to lack of skill or lack of a good internet connection, but being stubborn and still racing anyway. This makes matters much worse as displayed because it ruins all sort of fun. People having the common courtesy to do this would go a long way. Skills don't need to be improved in a race - ask around and see if you can get someone to 'spar' with you, teaching you basic technique before you rejoin races.
Secondly, I also noticed that you guys were looking for fun events, so I'll throw this out again:
Cars can be whatever, as Best Motoring have done F40s and RUFs to minivans. I'd be willing to do all sorts of set up required to just to make your life easier @nascarfan1400, even though minimal amounts would be required.

Earlier today I had a thought come into my head while watching some Best Motoring clips - what if the famous five lap battles were incorporated into a Fun Run? It'd be easy enough to organize, you could even use cars from the recommended list. All that's required are the P/W ratios to organize grid positions and you're golden.
For people who don't know what BM is, look no further:
The lobby regulations would have to be adjusted to something along the lines of comfort mediums or hards, five or more laps, and tyre wear on very fast.
Now, I know I can't even participate in these any more, but I couldn't help just wanting to get this idea out for the sake of enjoyment here.
Thoughts?
