At the time of the post I did not know you were the RD. As for the fence, you guys should have seen that coming. People are going to lean on the fence and if it's not anchored down it's going to be a safety issue. particularly when it's up against the hydro barrier. Those that have spent their entire adult lives doing large scale temporary event, including several CART/Champ Car temp circuit events are well keen to this. As for security, you could have used a few more yellow shirts. I certainly hope you're not telling us that you sacrificed safety so you didn't anger any customers.

I THINK YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS STRIGHT BEFORE TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SHOULD ACT. THE RACE DIRECTOR NEVER ONCE SPOKE ON PA ALL WEEKEND, JUST AT DRIVERS THE MEETING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OVER FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO LEAN AGENST IT, SHOULD WE SAY SOMETHING RIGHT THERE OR STOP THE SESSION AND WAIT TILL SECURITY TO SHOW AND PISS EVERYONE OFF FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. STAY BACK OFF FENCE= HOW CAN I SEE MY DRIVER. MOST PEOPLE WERE VERY UNDERSTANDING AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES AFTER THE RACE DIRECTOR VOICED HIS OPINION. DAVE, ONE MORE THING.

I have seen to many wrecks from drivers that are being passed. I understand your point that drivers should pass safely, but open wheel karts its not that simple. I am sorry you had issues with wrist bands,ass wipe,lighting, flagging,how tom asked everyone to sit down,and who knows what else you can think of. I hope all the people who put there life on the line for you next year will live up to your expectations. I will take your comments and all other comments good or bad and try to make things better for everyone.
