(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) We are making this out to be worse than it really is. No one has been injured. This is good. Last LPR a/x was extremly safe. No close calls. ALL worker postitions were manned well. The starters we're very attentive to the car spacing and paid close attention. And this was the fastest course I've ever driven. Safety issues must be viewed as THE most important factor. This is true. Course worker postitions seem to get dropped on newbies as an undesirable, left-over job. People need to realize, that the red flag is the first tool for a/x safety. Newbies are VERY hesitant to wave the red flag due to the fact that they don't always know when to do it or are worried about stopping the event for " no reason" and feeling embarassed in front of all these "pros". At the drivers meeting the a/x chair always states that instructors should WORK with thier students in their assignments. True, instructors work double and triple duty. Maybe they should work with each one of their students for a few minutes each session to make sure they understand that a mis-thrown red flag will only mean the driver's on course will get a re-run, ( tires are hot now...No complaints from them). Doug and Dana are working hard for us. ( GGR and LPR, as well )They want to have fun, too. Let's help them by teaching the beginners what to do. The responsibility rests on all of us. KT |
