I heard talk of investing in a bullhorn to help wrangle people. I think things could have gotten started an hour earlier with better long-range communication. But the biggest thing that kept the number of runs down was the course. Insufficient "overlap". We could only start a car about every 45 seconds... typical is more like 30-35... less than 30 is what it takes to get more than 6 runs.

Still, the course was fun if you weren't prone to getting lost on it (LOOK AHEAD!) as some were. Things definitely came up fast as you neared the finish!

To all who pussed out due to the weather... you really missed out on a great day. I was even down to a t-shirt for a while it was so warm.

Kenny was shaming us all, wandering around in shorts!

Ah, well, who knew?

So, ok, 4 runs. On a really challenging course. It was a smooth-flowing, fast course that rewarded being ahead of yourself. The event ran without a snag. I'd say it was good. See ya'll again next time.
