good discussion. i have to agree entirely with grant's assesment of safety at alameda. i have gotten really frustrated w/ saftey issues there before, and have witnessed many situations which could have escalated into 'incidents' there this year. IMHO, course workers need to be paired and have safety protocal pounded into their heads before every event. likewise, 'spectators' need to be better controlled out on a hot field. i know it's cool to get close up photos, but i have seen people do the dumbest shit trying to take a pic of their friend driving by at 70mph. get a zoom lens, it's just not worth it. i have personally (as calmly as possible) talked with such people and tried to convey my concerns to them, but such talk is always better from a more 'official' source.
and as long as we're at it -- what the hell is up with people not putting numbers on their cars? as a courseworker, THAT is frustrating. "3 cones on the 911. no, not the carrera, the SC. the red one. the other red one." leads to all sorts of cone-counting errors. unless anyone objects, i'm going to send doug and dana a link to this thread. p.s. don't let this discourage anyone from coming out this saturday! it's a great site and usually well-run overall! |
