What ever, I owned that thing... Tacoma is just a brittle old man
Ain't that the truth LOL
From my perspective, some of the drivers need to chill the hell out on some of these tighter courses... but the judges on those courses also need to take some responsibility and move people if they know they're in a bad spot. At every event I've judged, safety is a big consideration when I walk the course-- not only where are the drivers going to have trouble, but what are the fall lines? Are there any places that could be bad if a driver gets loose?
As has been said before, the course designers do their job to make a challenging course, the rest of it is a compromise between safety and crowd access-- if no one can see the course, who wants to watch it? As for all the kids, I'd love to know where their parents were? I keep mine a little close when there are multi-ton vehicles flopping around nearby.
Doesn't have to be a big issue, but it is one that needs to be addressed, and I'm sure it will be before August. Personally, I never, ever have an issue kicking spectators back out of the way-- would sure be nice if the spectators would take a look for themselves.
As for any uh.. after-hours mishaps, all participants were well aware of the potential risks and uhmmm nobody ended up duct-taped.
To Tish the Dish, if you are reading this, SO sorry I was "pissy" with you, maybe next time keep your %#$%#$@# hands off my broken bones, mmkay?
BIG thanks to Craig, Kevin Morris w/Millard County, and everyone who judged, volunteered, competed, supported drivers or staff, and anyone who wasn't mentioned. I LOVE Old School, it is a consistently great event for everyone involved.
See you b*tches in August.
