I was mostly really happy to hear the words "I'm OK"…
The speeds I am hitting in my Mustang down the front stretch there are holy cow fast… and it wouldn't take much of anything to have a very serious wreck just after the bridge. Just some tranny fluid or coolant from the guy in front of me and I'm going off there big time…
Safe, and fun, are not mutually exclusive. We can have both. Glad to hear you're IN FRONT of it before it's too late.

Thanks for the validation Greg from someone that understands what I am trying to say here. Yes, there will be those that don't like our decision as a company to slow it down a bit before the train wreck happens. Everyone has their own point of view as to why I need to do one thing or another. I have tried very hard to explain it in a way that most get it. However, if you have your own agenda, this is a big wide world we live in, feel free to create any event with any safety, rules, mission statements or whatever you like. Bottom line is I am unwilling to risk my friends' safety, even if the friend doesn't like my reasons or it's effect on their event plans.
