Did you really expect the sled operator and event promoters to jeopardize the safety of the competitors by continuing the competition while the EMTs and Fire/ Rescue was handling another medical emergency at the event?
Jake,
Of course I wouldn't expect them to continue on without the proper safety measures in place. It just happened to be that point when we decided that we had waited long enough. After starting about an hour and a half late etc, it just got a little old. It just seemed like there wasn't much of a sense of urgency when it came to setting up the track, or getting started once the lights didn't work, or even getting the broken tractor off the track. When I was in school, our department would put on sled pulls. We always had a forklift READY to go when someone broke down. It wasnt like some guy had to go track somebody down to get the keys to the lift, and so on. I think I would have had more fun if the dyno event was held right on site too. Anyway, I'm sure they'll have all the issues worked out for next year. I must say that the highlight of my day was seeing maddog and browns race. That was cool.
