This particular venue is an abandoned airfield and the prepared cars can 
reach 75 + in spots.

The episode is doubly embarrassing because both Mike (the driver) and I 
are currently licensed solo safety stewards. It's funny how you get caught 
up in the moment.

In our de-brief, we decided that we need checklists for events. Either 
that or a responsible crew person to keep us from shooting ourselves in 
the feet!
