Don't want to be a party pooper

Now, you just have to watch for things like those who may have spent too much time in Jim's Bar on the wrong side of the tracks.

Thanks Clay. Many of the changes have been in place for a while. Long before TN happened. Even last year they enforced the no spectators beyond the lauch area, this year of course there will be more of a focus on that. The decision to shorten the area was made last year. The 'board' is getting together again Thursday evening to discuss this even further to make sure we keep risk to a minimum.

As for Jim's bar.... the idea of turning the burnouts into a drinking game was quickly shot down Drinking and burnouts is strickly forbidden!
