Welllll, from what I understand, when you go into a spin you do like some NASCAR drivers do before they crash, release the wheel, cross your arms and wait for the crash.
As I posted above, the driver shouldn't have to worry about grabbing the wheel trying to avoid people that are standing where they shouldn't be..... Even if they are track workers -- they shouldn't be working if they don't know where to stand safely.
Lernerville - Local VFD (Buffalo I believe is the name) does the 50/50 and Dail anounces it over and over, how much the pot will, how much time you have to buy your tickets and etc. Their pots are into several thousands of $$$$$$.
At Mercer I have seen posted and announced when I have attended that their 50/50 goes to local organizations/charities.
