I meant no offense to anyone. Just wondered. I was pretty busy
prepping my car and helping a couple beginners walk the course and
prep their cars. This was my first event in a long time, but if
someone wouldv'e announced that they needed a volunteer, I wouldv'e
jumped.
I think ussually someone was out there during the drivers meeting in
the past. Guess I assumed they'd mark it then when I was walking the
course.
I'm tentatively planning on running the next event the 22nd, and
would be glad to chalk the course then.
