You could still do the course worker stations before hand. Then just have a quick meeting before everyone heads to their stations to see if a couple of people need to swap. Could even designate the cone chaser and radio/flag holder so it's clear when they head out to their positions, and everyone should be ready to roll when they get there. Or, we could just table it till the August outdoor roast and start fresh in September.

So, am I to assume you mean see us at SPC or since you called us heathens do you mean you'll see us somewhere that's "hotter"?

No, not really. the only thing I did was giving it a very good polish so it would be more aerodynamic :lol: :lol: :lol:
I gave him a new set of spark plugs, engine and transmission oil..... other than that still the same

well, actually it's "smooth=cool", but I guess your way works also.
