The main worry we have now is the integrity of the control tower. As
you probably know, Santa Pod's tower actually sits across the track
behind the start line. For the second meeting in a row, Hill managed to
take a window out. We actually sit dead center in the tower [Andy runs
the TSI timing system –bp] with the track commentators next door,
directly above the right lane, Martin's favorite! Next time he runs, the
commentators will use radio mikes and be away from danger; however, we
have to stay to hold down the PC, monitors, etc., so it looks like he'll
run in the left lane and see if it's a bit safer for us. I personally
will be wearing a crash helmet and body armor as well as carrying a
spare pair of pants!
