Safety can never be stressed enough. Shelbyville will probably be pretty close to 'normal' summer pool by Saturday but that's still 16' below what it was at during the last State Shoot.
This means there is less channel for the boats to run in and more sandbars and stumps to hit.
...as for Carlyle's drag racing out of the park...
I can guarantee that we're going to stop that from happening again. There's a ton of planning that went into that event... but I didn't anticipate needing a pace car. grrrr...
