Everyone should be cheered just for finishing.
Especially for a distance race of this kind. But does that REQUIRE the RC and everyone else to sit there? yeowch.
From someone who's taken great pride at DFL on many a distance race, I'm happy to just submit my own time to the RC....

Even using a "ringer" driver (Karl the first), I was surprised that the RC was still at Ann's beach after 11+ hours of waiting for us.
