Hey Dean,
I am not sure if you were directing this at me. I never advocate the elimination of racing from HHH it's one of the things that make this ride and race unique. Mainly it was as you said to communicate to those that admit they do this that it isn't cool, it's dangerous etc.. As you can see I expected most of the people that do this to be assinine about it and to ridicule the fact that all I am asking is to respect the rules of the ride itself. So you can lead a horse to water but as we can see from some of the most uninformed and base riposts to my point that no matter what some idiots out there simply refuse to share this experience safely by simply obeying the rules. I was using a sarcasm to make a point maybe this is where I was confusing people. I realize that no matter what some people just feel entitled to make a complete ass of themselves and to endanger other riders but maybe some of the people who have read this thread will simply see my point. I guess my biggest concern is that one day somone is going to get hurt and maybe even killed by this type of behaviour. It's a ride there's a race. It's not 'just do whateverthe****youwant' Some here think it is unfortunately.
