The truck is there as thats where I stand starting the race in order for the racers to see the start board and flag I cannot stant at the same level. The guys in the back cannot see. If not a truck then a platform.....better? It really isnt a concern the ONLY worry I have is a couple bikes hitting together and sideswiping it but at the start the speeds are slow. Like I said the actual people doing the racing had no issue with it nor the trailers for that matter just the spectators.
We have to qualify and do all kinds of hoop jumping to get liability insurance where they back check my experience and qualifications to make decisions just like this one, not to say that I dont make a wrong call once in a while but I have a pretty good grip on racing on both sides of the windshield. I am pretty sure that the folks that have millions of dollars on the line in possible payouts do their background and trust our judgement on stuff like this.
That said I am all ears when it comes to improving things and generally dont get involved in online diick measuring contests but when someone who doesnt race nor has even ridden the track makes statements like this about one of my events I am getting my back up. I am not above criticism however blanket statements like this are just misleading and frankly WRONG.
