Concerned for parade watchers

I like going to Grantsville each July 4 to run the Ray Barrus 5K race and then watch the parade afterwards. I would like to make a suggestion to the directors of that parade. Maybe I am not alone, but as I watched the three Ford Mustangs spin their wheels — or should I say burn their wheels — as they went through the parade route, I became very concerned for the safety of the people. One small mistake by any one of those drivers might have injured or killed some of those watching the parade. I was hoping to see someone of authority step in and ask the drivers to stop burning those tires. I didn’t feel it my place because I was an out-of-towner. Hopefully, the parade directors will be more concerned for the safety of the public in the future.
