As a former GGR track official, I can tell you the number of folks that go out on the track and then go into brain fade once the speed goes up is scary....
"No I didn't see that yellow" "That Black flag was for me?"
I didn't see the yellow flag when I passed that 911" and many other lame excuses. The flags are the only way the track officials and the corner workers have to communicate with the drivers/cars on track...they are of the utmost importance and many folks just don't pay attention.

As the speed increases and the amount of concentration multiplies, it is just too much for some folks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

On a happier note. Glad you guys got to see some good TH video. who was the video done by?

Thats what scares me the most. People who dont see flags that are clearly being waved. How aware are they of other issues on the track? Oil, debris, potential spins etc?
