Default Video on contest safety

Didn’t mean to jump your ****, too much, Nick, but leaching on a clear day has gotten completely out of hand. I remember a day where nobody would lead out until 4 PM, on a 3 hour task! I started at 3 PM and almost made it around. Only one completed that task. The leaches don’t care if they don’t finish because they will get about the same points as the rest of the gaggle sitting in some field, somewhere! I’m in favor of some kind of action to address this situation. A forced start did the trick 35 years ago.............why not try it again?
