Therefore we were running around for 20 minutes trying to borrow glasses from other teams, but many were having the same problems as us. At the time I was furious, but in retrospect I give the volunteers kudos for making sure that everyone was safe!

The "bouncer" you mention was a VOLUNTEER from our team that spent two days sitting at the entrance of the pits trying to keep you safe. Everyone knows the rules. YOU MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES IN THE PITS.

How were your safety glasses LEFT in the pits? Did you walk out of the pits NOT wearing your glasses? Whose fault was it that YOU didn't have YOUR glasses? The volunteers or YOURS?

I'm glad in the end that you realized that it was not the volunteer's fault that you didn't have your glasses.

As far as the TC event went, I thought it was fine. Music wasn't too loud, lots of seating, and easy to get from the pits to the field. The technical difficulties will probably be sorted out by next week.
