At the most recent KY Region event, we shattered the 129 driver record by having 140. Also, we did better at the "hot" worker changeovers, and were able to acheive 5 runs each in 4 heats. While the quicker changeover seems to be working alright, I get real nervous watching newbies crossing the course with cars actively running. That, and worker turnout for the 4th heat was pretty poor. The corner I ended up working was very active (chicago box going into a tight lefthand 180), and the two kids they sent me had never shagged a cone in their lives. I kept having to tell them heads up as they carried on their conversations without paying attention to what was going on around them. They finally understood when a jerk in a Z06 slipped his rear in the box and didn't let out of it. As he spun out of control, he came within 20 feet of us. After that, they didn't turn their backs on any more cars. Boy, do I ramble or what. Anyway, next event in Louisville is 4-28. Off of Grade Lane in the UPS big lot. Anyone in the area should come and play.
Later,
James
