Jamo,
Perfectly put. I had a blast at the Fling, and those events were so much fun!! I can't pound my chest, because frankly my car in its' current condition does not have the ability to do burnouts down the entire drag strip

. But I think if everyone followed the guidelines clearly laid out by DV and crew, the risks were extremely minimal. I took as many passengers as I could, especially on the Sunday autox. I always made sure to ask the passenger how much of the "experience" they wanted. I feel DV and crew went out of their way to make it as safe as it could possibly be, and it is up to us to do that. I for one thought it was a ton of fun.
Jack,
I'm glad you are OK. You didn't have those mugs rattling around in your trunk and cause a distraction, did ya?
Steve
