I was working directly across at station 5 and saw the Merkur spin. The workers actually had a lot of time to move, and the XR4 went a little past were they were originally standing. I think "deer in the headlights" is an accurate depiction.

It is pretty clear to me now why many autocross events don't allow you to take chairs out when you work. If they were sitting they could have been in trouble.

Thanks for bringing out the XR4. I liked your modifications.
