Just got back from the track tonight and it went alot smoother, there are at least 3 marshalls on the track at a time, you wouldn't stay stuck for more than 15 sec, it was great. The only thing that I have to complain about is the buggies that were there, I know that that class is really competative but I would be marshalling and I would be by the tripple and they would come flying at it like I wasn't even there. I went off the tripple with my truck and a buggy came literally flying up and hit me in mid air sent my truck flying and ripped the carb right of the motor, cracked the aluminum peice of the carb in half.

Bernie, I don't think he was trying to hit me, I just think they are so competative they are just trying to go for the best laps and they didn't see me or they were just moving so fast they didn't have time to react, but thats ok it's the risk of being out there on the track. I just wish when you are out there they will at least slow down a little bit for you, most of them do, but there were a few that just went flying by a few inches from your feet like you weren't even there.

The very nature of the triple jump means you are gonna be going fast to clear it. It is a Passing Zone for those who can make it. The good (or ballsy) guys will always be hitting it fast. Collisions are bound to occur. They may suffer, too. Who knows?

Bernie, will you be thinking about keeping that feature when the layout changes next time?

The next layout will have big air . But I will slow it down so the cars don't fly like bullets
