But from the perspective of working the Lovelock course, I felt it was reasonably safe (using the hay bales that were set, what?, 50' off the course?).
Not to be elitist, but I don't worry about Lovelock because the Vegas drivers aren't there. I'm not saying the Vegas people are bad drivers, I just don't think they majority of them have high speed experience.

Like I said earlier, if they only drive at a tiny little course all season, then cut loose at Hawthorne, it's no wonder we have off's from their less experienced drivers. I bet that if we held the event in the Safeway lot across the street, not only would we have a safer event, we'd probably also lose to Vegas because we rarely run very tight low speed courses.
