yeah I'm familiar with the route and the hazards, but I'm worried about taking a large group through there. Most of the drivers will be unfamiliar with the route and I bet there will be many inexperienced drivers who want to participate. Doing the full route might be asking for trouble. I can warn and shout all I want at the driver's meeting but I am certain someone will tune me out and not even hear half of what I say, then jump in their car and think they are Initial D drift heroes.
I'm pretty sure that like the last time, the organizers will ask everyone to sign a waiver that releases the organizers from any liability should anything unfortunate happen during the event or the drive. I thought it was kind of comical the first time I saw that, but now that I've agreed to help plan this drive I am starting to think it's a great idea. Nonetheless we want to make sure that safety is the first priority, and having fun is the second priority.
