Re: Uphill battle
Michael took a recon lap with Todd late Saturday and the changes sounded encouraging. From his report there are now tires with a rubber membrane extending out and up to the old Armco so the kind of direct catching impact I made on the new Armco is no longer possible. Also under consideration is moving back the flag stand and old armco (As well as the new Armco that now comes out to meet the old) to make the consequences of overshooting at the crest of the hill less severe as well. It all sounds encouraging.
There is no free lunch here. Every change produces a new set of consequences.
As mentioned earlier, LRP's best interests are in having the safest venue possible. They do have a web site where your voice could be heard and I have no doubt they are paying close attention to this issue.
