I looked back at my video, and the car was far from being "10 feet" from anyone, and moving relatively slowly at that. While that effort would not have been my first choice, I was at the line when he left and it appeared he did this last year,a nd that it was a "pre-determined" action that appeared to be acknowledged by the staging staff by this one person. Maybe if that were well known, it would have appeared in a better light in that respect.

However, the "car" coming down the street while he was donutting around was a bit of an "eye openener", yet the car kept on coming! lol. I still can't figure that one out. Must of had to get through in a hurry I guess... maybe they were running out of strawberries!

Something to tuck away in the data bank to apply to next year's event, or to ANYONE'S event for that matter. This is a learning process for everyone, indeed.
