Some headway is being made on the inconsiderate standing problem. One of the announcers for the Ted Horn Memorial at Du Quoin last Sunday night made an appoint to tell the crowd to be heedful of others and set down after the "wave lap" so women and young folks along with the handicapped can enjoy the racing. The only way for progress to be made is if the silly and rude practice of standing for the sake of standing during races is deemed unacceptable. Part of the problem at this point in time is there are just enough people who actually enjoy diminishing the enjoyment of others and draw a bit of childish satisfaction from being annoying and rude along with the reaction it elicit's.

It's a heartening that at least a degree of progress is being made.
