I think that the appropiate "things" happened, but I have no way of knowing how
long they took to happen after the initial report.
The event chair responded, as soon as I heard there was a potential problem I
called on the radio for the Chief of safety and he responded, and I asked for
the run group safety steward (Chris)to be called on the PA which she was.
Had there been a problem posing imminent danger I am sure that one of those
primary responders would have called for the start to be held pending
resolution.
As for the whine at the gate, we HAVE to get ourselves into compliance with the
requirements of the sanction. That means everyone on site signs the waiver. I
personaly think that Noel did an outstanding job and that we came as close as
we ever have to getting everyone signed.With almost 20% being newbees, we did
great!

> Bryan, thanks to you and Natalie, it went well. Two things I noticed
through
the day:
One thing that was brought up at a steering committee meeting previously
was
a way to stop people from coming in and interupting scoring. During group
2
we got interupted by someone who was panicked that a car was going to go
off
course and into the large STS run group on grid B. Maybe the first thing
we
need to ask the person is "Do we need to stop the event?" Certainly that
would get a safety or event chair's attention immediately, but could also
hold up a 300 car day and have cars driving in the dark at the end of the
day. Theoretically that is all that the scoring team is able to do to
solve
the problem.
The second thing was a complaint, or maybe it was whine from a late
person,
but I was helping get waivers signed in the morning before the course
walk,
so there were 2 of us over there and at one point there was 20+ cars lined
up waiting to get in. One person complained that something needed to be
done
about the line as he signed to get his wrist band. I'm not sure there's a
good solution to that one, except to tell that person to arrive earlier or
be more patient.
Other than that, it was a great event! Oh and a good course too!
