[Cobra20646]

DV,

Unlike my club mate above, I did the first run through Columbus, but could not do the second..... too much heat for JoAnn to tolerate (new meds).

Anyhow, the first run was so controlled, I don't think there was a "near miss" the entrie route. When I heard the chatter following last years run, I was just amazed that traffic control at the intersections was so poor.

As Gary said, this is something that is out of your control. You do what you can to request the support we need in this parade, but what actually shows up is not your fault. So, without even giving it much more thought, I'd have to vote no also.......... even though blowing through Columbus was a blast and a perfect ending to DVSF1.

FWIW dept.......... During the escort from London to Xenia I was about third or forth from the "escort" vehcile.......... then he pulls off the road.... I thought to hand us off to the next PD in line. No more escorts the rest of the route..... and a bunch of rag tag out of state cobra nuts following someone they hope knows the route. Something there fell through the cracks I'm sure..... time table screwed up, cop on a more urgent call, whatever, but just an example of what can go wrong to totally screw up an event and put people in harms way.

Happy holidays to everyone
