Just another spectator
Definitely thanks Ekauf. Your videos were far better than watching this pull live. It seems to me OSTPA which generally puts on well organized events really fell short on this one! I understand a sled broke, however when you have 2 sleds I see no reason why there should be a 5 or more minute break in the action which happened many many times throughout the evening. Also the sled operators on both sleds had to restart 2 different times each in the opening 2 classes. Rarely will you ever see this with a Stimmel owned sled. They know the pullers, tracks and classes and very rarely miss the weight settings on their equipment. Not mentioning this to e critical, just making the powers to be aware of the problem so they can do a better job next time when it comes to keeping the competition lined up and ready to back in to the sled as soon as it gets back to the start line. I also somewhat blame the pullers for not helping out in knowing who they follow so they can be ready when the guy in front of them is finished. It was a huge turnout. The fans supported the pull, the people running the pull fell way short. It amazes me how an event with so much potential could be botched as this one was. Hope next event is better run and organized. By the way, I'm not the only one who thought this. Many other people sitting around me was complaining about the same.
