It sucks that the group you're with aren't being responsible. I hope the driver that hit the bystanders gets to pay for that guys hospital bill.

When I see that kinda crap I take it upon myself to tell kids and bystanders to stay out of the way. I'm actually a dick about it, but it gets the point across and keeps people from getting hurt.

I also tell wreckless drivers in no uncertain terms that at speed r/c's are more of a weapon than a toy.

Speak up dude! Instead of losing a good spot and a good time step up and organize things. Most people are followers and won't even mind

And it's true that most are followers and will end up helping you. When I do find time to race, I setup the boards at my LHS parking lot. People just offer to help setup and tear down. The longest part is sweeping/blowing the dirt off and spraying soda down.

I'm hearing what you guys are preaching but I only attend this scene a couple times a month plus the crowd is mixed with a bunch of wanna-be thugs/punk ass kids whom arent gonna want to hear this. I couldn't possibly consider wasting my time with these jackholes. Last night was a lesson learned by the parents whom had younglings in tow, the kids were chucked into PU beds after that incident. A lot of people (whom had a some common sense) were shocked to see how these guys were hurt and I'm sure their driving habits and RC courtisey will hopefully improve ?
The action comes in waves, sometimes there will be a 20 or more idiots going at it doing their own thing all together and five minutes later no one is running. I'll just have to carefully pick and choose when I run and when I test it'll be much earlier when the crowd is thinner. I just need to get my own radar gun so I'm not dependant on the other guys.
