[QUOTE="FABRICATOR, post: 49358, member: 80"] It does get insane sometimes, and not just at MDR races. I saw RG go right through a parking area a few years back, he did slow to about 75 or so. He pulled it off but there were kids and other innocents all over the place minding their own business. Score has used concrete bumper things (chicanes?) to slow the cars. These cost money. Maybe the same thing can be done with some junk cars or roll-off bodies and park them in the way so the racers have to slow down. One thing is fairly consistent with other forms of racing. For the most part, the danger is on the driver not the spectator or course worker. The attitude of non-racers beware is not going to make it. Moving things back will only widen the course. There needs to be some positive traffic control, at least in some areas. Perhaps the terrain can be put to some use.
