Spectators for RTTH

[JEFFTATE]

There was a lot of last-minute communication going on between DollyWood , the Insurance Company , and others .
It just so happened that the Insurance Company wanted a HUGE ( I'm talking astronomical ) amount of money to cover spectators at this event.
Because of the track layout ( in proximity to the vendors and spectators viewing area ) , the Insurance company and DollyWood Officials wanted concrete road construction safety barriers installed ..( Those huge monolith concrete blocks )
It was just too cost prohibitive to do on short notice ( SHORT NOTICE is part of the key here . The baseball stadium parking lot was still on hold as a backup plan just in case )

So , off-the-street , general public spectators were not allowed .
BUT , any pro-touring member could have gotten in by just saying that they knew Bill , or were there to work the event .
This point probably wasn't communicated effectively .
But , next year this event will be set up for Vendors and Spectators of any kind . Just like GoodGuys , expect with a nice big track layout .

The event is experiencing some growing pains , it will all work out .
