<VV> Re:Grass and burning cars

[Gary Swiatowy]

I am sure the grass in the park where the Concours and car display are 
located is a mowed lawn in the park.
I would also guess the overflow parking you are referring to was a mowed 
field, used for parking. Quite a difference!

I read every year in this area about cars burning up by the side of the road 
in the city in the fall as leaves are raked to the curb for pickup and some 
rocket scientist parks their car on them..............

I have been involved with a car show at a fairgrounds. Spectator parking is 
on a field the fairgrounds people are required to mow before the show. It is 
always checked a couple of days before the show, and generally speaking it 
is 8 inches or more with dried grass on top. We have to remind fairgrounds 
management about their liability if they are "negligent" and a couple 
hundred cars go up in flames....................they then mow again.
