I have a real problem with that whole episode. No please understand that everything I know about the situation is what I have read on the 'net. I have not honest first hand account of anything that went on.
Having said that, where were the safety stewards and the officials during course set up and design? Why wasn't this even thought of until after somebody protested? You mean to tell me that during the course walk it never occured to anybody that the course "looked" fast?
Maybe it's just me, but I would think that if you suspect something is not right, you should say something BEFORE HAND!!!! Let's not run the event, find out a Porsche GT3 SS car can break 80 and then allow somebody to protest for safety reasons.
I guess maybe I am out in left field here, but it sure seems to me that something stinks here. I'm afraid of what kind of precedent this might set for future events, both at the regional level, and the national one.
