GPL glacier: suicidal marshals?

I love racing at Glacier, and have had some of my best on-line duels there. But on occasion I have a twinge of guilt: I have killed dozens of marshals there, more than any other track. Somebody really needs to talk to the race organizer about this - it doesn't seem to slow my car down much (I guess I cut them off at the knees in my low-riding Lotus) but it does tend to affect my concentration at times. They must have a large number of replacements standing by too, because the lap after I wipe one out, the corner is staffed again. These guys are dedicated! Or are things so depressing in Greenland in the winter that they are trying to end it all? (Sorry, I'm a bit bored at work, just waiting for the day to end so I can get back to GPL (aka "life") <g>)

Whoo-He! For whatever reason, this really hit me in the funny bone. Thanks! (Maybe a little Carmageddon is in order?!) -Greg -- ============ Anti-Spam measures have been taken! Remove duplicate letters to reply.

I wondered about that too. I know the marshalls *were* close to the track, but that's ridiculous!<g> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL F1 hcp. +28.67...F2 +151.26...F3 hcp. +373.73 Never argue with an idiot.
