A fun time at MIR

[Michael Beard]

That was very surprising to me, as the starting line was well-staffed. They probably could have spent less time trying to direct you perfectly through the water, and more time with a broom.

I was at another big event recently where it was so bad that after I blew the tires off, I marched straight to the starting line, grabbed a broom to push off the rocks and debris. I think the starter's job was to flip that switch, and the burnout box kid's was to spray water. Neither barely glanced at me or seemed to care that I was on their starting line (let alone doing their jobs). More staff was brought in later, and things were fine then.
