No, it's like you saying if you put a rugby shirt on, would it make you any less of a puff? No is the answer.....

WTF did you let him be in charge of that for - lesson learned (tell him to do one and you're all staying on Saturday instead
).
He didn't have a lot to say when I pointed out how messy things would get the night before and how stupid that was for trying to get up early to do a track day
