Fortunately, you seem to have discovered the reason why without any calamities Ross.

It amazes me the risks some folk will take with other peoples lives though, it really does.

I hope this doesn't sound like I'm condoning drink-driving cos I'm not, but we've also seen very sober people take those same risks with others lives.!

Not quite right, a group of us missed the DD presentations by a minute or two but caught all the ones that followed.

Mark has learnt from last year hence the timetable and why he is arranging for the Podium to be moved up into the paddock next to his trucks where he can provide Lighting and shelter if required as well as people being able to attend while getting the food.

With lessons learnt from last year this year should be even better and provide a great final meeting of the year for us.

I think you've unintentionally twisted my words , Dave.

I mean the fact that some people are far from "with it" whilst out on track is putting others at great risk. I get the point you're making, and agree that some people are capable of creating mayhem without touching a drop of booze.

For now though, drinking way too much the night before is my point and there isn't anyone on this planet that will convince me it's ok. Sorry to sound overly sanctimonious, but that's just the way I feel about it.

Anyway, I'm hijacking this thread really badly, and it's pretty disrespectful, so back to topic I reckon!
