Quit dreaming, there is no way to tell a driver to abort his run. Things
that look and sound good on paper is not always a reality to put in place.
Dan, JD & I along with many others have discussed this for years and how to
speed up the meets. We do our best but the logistics just are not there
yet. Trust me we do care and are always looking for a better way.
I should have kept a record of everytime I tried to contact a push vehicle
to tell them something regarding their vehicles, to go to the return road
and not to follow your car down the course. They either don't have the radio
on, or have it squelched down so they can't hear or they are a piece of crap
hand held that doesn't get out. The list goes on.

Hi Glen
I WILL NEVER QUIT DREAMING! ( There, that's a shout! LOL )
Besides, as long as the list brings up questions, I'm going to answer them.
Discussion is good. Simply squelching an idea because someone doesn't like it
doesn't cut it with me thank you.
If the long course car has cleared the 5 before the short course car leaves
the line, why would you have to notify the short course driver to abort their
mission? If the long course car crashes after the five, the short course car
shouldn't make it that far. Also the short course car would be on different
real estate.
If a bird brain push vehicle drives all the way down the course this poses a
major safety issue and needlessly delays the meet. I would take a hard line
and send them home. If someone is so stupid to drive across the course for any
reason, they should be sent packing. No exceptions. Stupid mistakes kill
people.
You mentioned discussing this with Dan, J.D. and others and said the
logistics are just not in place "yet". I think we're getting closer.
Gotta run. I've got some dreaming to do. LOL.
