not the post I responded to

If my memory serves me correctly, Hoops and Sledgehammer have emphasised that cars have to stay in place until after trophys and the end of the event due to insurance and health and safety risks.

There will be lots of people, once the car is in place it will need to stay until the day comes to a close. We cant have people leaving and potentially putting people attending at risk of being hit (even at slow speed) because our insurance cover stipulates that no vehicles are to move during the event. (Unless of course there is a major emergency, which would warrant special consideration from the FPV XR club executive members to allow and organise this safely)

as posted up by GC FordChic.

The answer provide by Hoops has satisfied me that all safety aspects have been met and if this responce had been posted in the first place I would not have put up the post that I had posted as he is part of the events committee organising this event.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish the FPV & XR Owners club all the best for the day and I hope you raise plenty of money for the Children’s ward of the Gold Coast Hospital as my sister has had one of her children survive a life threatening illness.

Shane,

Some people i know appreciate timeliness, this was the reason i decided to respond, I gave an answer because i knew the simple answer to his question. If i had given no reason and not mentioned 'potential risk' 'spectator safety' and simply posted "No, they must stay in place for the entire event." would that have made you interrogate and attack me because i am not a member of the organising committee, but a mere member of the club that is organising it? I think anyone, be they a president/member or not of the club could post the answer if they know it, it is a public forum.

I was brief with the explanation, sorry if it was not to your standard and i am not the calibre you demanded an answer from. I have been quite offended by your manner, i believe it was quite rude towards me when i was only helping another forum user out.

Now....back on with the GCAFD talk...I'm EXCITED! :

Jennifer
