Well, it honestly wasn't any worse time-wise than the '97 Harrisburg Pro,
where they let in 200
and I remember running ladies class at 7PM.... just *one* of the reasons I like
running open class,
especially at Pros, where FS always runs first! As for the cap, however, there
is no longer a Pro cap
-- it just says that entries may be restricted due to site limitations.
As for the cone issue.... I think I know who you are referring to. The sad
thing is that if the
person who turned himself in is the one I'm thinking of, T&S never did anything
about it -- I guess
that's the "reward" for honesty. The other thing is that if both of those
people *had* had the cones
added, the class results wouldn't be that much different except the trophy
positions would have been
switched around; ie, no one out of trophies would have benefitted.
But to give the workers and T&S some credit, there were a LOT of cones hit
this weekend. I was
working radio Saturday morning, and many times I couldn't call in anything
right away because station
1 (the way-tight slalom) was calling in 1, or 2 or 3 cones. Then station 2 (the
modified Chicago box)
had to call in cones. Fortunately, I didn't have many to call in, but the
call-ins were so bad that
station 1's radio died partway through the afternoon!
Just for the record -- I enjoyed the weekend. The course was difficult,
but not impossible. It's
always fun to hang out with the F stockers, and my car is working right again!
How could I not have
fun? Plus, my "sign" on my dashboard says, in addition to "be smooth" and "go
fast," I should "have
fun." ;)
