Actor Paul Walker will be remembered by thousands of his fans this weekend as a huge rally has been confirmed to take place right near the spot where he and racecar driver Roger Rodas died, according to TMZ.

The rally is scheduled to take place at 12:00 p.m. on Hercules Street right near where Walker was killed in a fiery crash.

Over 20,000 people are expected for the rally, and city officials are warning locals to avoid the location completely.

Police aren't planning on canceling the rally, but will do what they feel is necessary to make sure the event goes safely.

Law enforcement also warned anyone who attends the rally that they will be looking for reckless drivers, and will not be going easy on them, according to TMZ.

People caught doing doughnuts or anything reckless with their vehicles will be cited, and also risk having their vehicles impounded.

Walker was on vacation from filming "Fast & Furious 7" and was on his way back from a charity event when the crash took place.

Rodas was behind the wheel of the vehicle, according to police, but they have ruled out that the two were drag racing at the time of the crash.

The two were riding in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT when the crash took place.

Production for "Fast 7" has been delayed indefinitely as Universal and director James Wan are trying to figure out how they're going to finish the film without Walker.

Filming for the movie started in September, and many scenes have already been completed with a certain ending in mind. The original ending, and possibly the whole story, will have to be changed now.

So what do you think? Is it smart to hold a rally at the same location where the crash took place? Are you planning on attending the rally?
