There are better things to have around I suppose ;)
Had to work around what was there. The way they setup the course there
really wasn't anyway to even come close to them, no matter how out of
shape you got, and nobody did.

The guys that run these events really emphasize a safe, family environment
right from the start. They take many precautions to ensure that these
events happen in the safest, most enjoyable manner. Even if we have to
race around big tanks of flammable material ;).
