Something we tend to forget when we are not the ones owning the responsibility of some of these scca roles -- MikeK and Russ Carpenter (and John & John, the event chairs), among a handful of others, were at the site from early morning until the end of the day. In those kinds of temperatures we had this weekend, plus the problems that come up, plus the crabby people and the whiners, all = No More Fun.
On Sat. when I was swapping my street tires back on after morning runs, that caused me to nearly die, I had to stop & take a popsicle break, which saved me.

Thank You Mike, for all the help you give. But next time, some others need to help with cone packing duty.

p.s. Sorry to everyone whose corner stations were attacked by my car.

pps, and when I mention whiners, I am not pointing out anyone else but myself. I had to eat my words, or eat crow, or whatever that phrase is, when I nearly yelled at John Riggs in grid, that I hadn't had enough time between runs, before they wanted us to go again. My whininess was just ridiculous, considering everyone else had to cope with the short turnaround time as well. I can only explain myself as having gotten too impatient, too hot, and too irritable at my dnf's and cone runs. No excuse though.
