Rob, you say that Simon and David agree, but they were just on a live podcast a couple days ago and their position could not have been more different than yours. Simon said that him and David agreed, "there was no point of holding another one of these." Stating what everyone is thinking. Nobody is going to top the 1100, and the potential of a World record throw is the entirety of the event's allure. I respect the idea of sticking with tradition, but from a business standpoint you'd be making a mistake not to evolve the event. If you don't, this may be the last time anyone has a meaningful discussion about it. "Joe Blow breaks personal best and throws 12th furthest drive ever," isn't a very intriguing headline.
Rob has the video of simon and david in the discmania motor home. Both agreed that is was kinda a joke and luck. Simon basically said that he has no issue with David breaking his record his issue is that his new +900ft throw was broken not by 20 or 30 feet but by 200ft and in normal competition their drives are nearly identical.
