Thats the pin on badge you pay for at the gate................
NO NO NO!!!! The pin gives spectators access to the SALT NOT the PIT AREA!!
Gosh, you guys!!! Here I was feeling so damned proud of my crew for working so hard and now all I see are complaints, people wanting us to hand out MORE stuff at Land's End, and EVERYONE complaining about the long lines to get on the salt!!! WTF!!!!
How about if I ask the officials to put an inspector at the pit entrance (actually they're talking about do this very thing), that way the inspector can find out who/what you're racing/crewing for, and if any rules are broken, you get red tagged?
This was a record year for racers and spectators, the prices don't need to be raised for admission....seems to me if it's the racers are having problems in the pits, then the racers should use their initiative and help out instead of complaining about lack of patrols.....so, here I am, fresh back home from 2 weeks on the salt, totally exhausted, loved that I got to see "my racers", and adding my "One quick rant"
