you are correct.. I don't really know what I'm talking about b/c I am having to relate the way I see the guys act on this coast at auto-x events when people do this to your actions. Obviously you will get different reactions there.
But I digress, It is not always the event orginizers that matter. If the majority of the people at the event don't like how it's affecting things, they won't allow you to do it in the future. You have to try either way though, and I commend you for it. Getting permission before the event is the definately the best way to handle it.
