I'm trying to understand how, all of a sudden, you
need 230+ people to make 8 run groups work. It worked
in 1992 and for 25 other years. What changed? What
evidence do you have shows that having seven radios on
a course is safer than say three. Or none. Radios are
a there for convenience and efficiency. It's hard
screaming across the asphalt.

If this is really about safety, it could be argued
that there are too many radios on course. They could
be a distraction. You could reduce that number,
freeing up the hands of course workers. This would
require that the radio workers and others pay more
attention, but this would also increase safety.
