To borrow a quote from Ayrton Senna (about a different location) "There are no small accidents at this track" That being said, I was also looking forward to it... figured that if I finished, would at least be in a "points position!"
Maybe consider a rolling start to give everyone a chance to settle in , also could add a mandatory pit stop for tires, that way, if need be, repairs could also be made without losing so much time to the field?
Thanks Stuart, I still enjoyed the prep! That back straight is total exhilaration!
