More fuel to the fire. It took awhile for the red flag to come out and the ambulance to arrive as you can see. I think the corner workers where busy texting and sending photos..

That's some scary sh!t. Those corner workers need to find other lines of work.

Looks like a couple of drivers didn't notice (or chose to ignore) the red flag when the flaggers in sleepy hollow finally awakened from their extended slumber. Does FATT use the same flaggers as PCA? The behavior of drivers and flaggers scares the s___ out of me.

Not for Club Race but yes for DEs.

Yeah, I'm really surprised that a sanctioned racing organization like EMRA would have mediocre track coverage. When I was at SP last weekend, as I was coming out of T9 I saw the worker in the station kicked back with his feet up.

I ran today with EMRA ( did the time trials ) . One of my sessions was black flagged and some wahoo passed me with black flag out Also, during my time trial some guy spun in 3 and got stuck in the gravel. He was very close to the track but they didn't even throw a yellow...never mind black flag my session. I know i lost 4 seconds a lap having to tip-toe through 3 with him sitting there .

Congrats to Mike Lin for taking second place in our group I settled for third as we were both bitch slapped by a honda Civic

Default Isn't there a flag station in the karosel?

If the Karosel flag station was manned, that is the appropriate station for the flag. This picture makes things look bad because turn 5's station is in the shot.

If the karosel was not manned, the workers in 5 should be flogged!
