I agree with your thoughts Bubba...as a racer I think we all feel it when a fellow racer gets badly hurt or dies. I remember once at Thunderhill Park I got tangled up with another car and ended up at a dead stop on the other side of a blind hill, directly sideways, with a stalled car. Fortunately my passenger side was the side exposed to oncoming traffic. I'll never forget nervously cranking the motor and breathing a sigh of relief as oncoming cars saw the flagger and avoided me while I was doing this. Watching the flags is so very important. I was able to get the car fired and did not finish last! I hope none of you guys end up in that situation, it is one of the worst in racing.

QUOTE (CMC #37 @ Mar 27 2006, 01:03 PM)  Watching the flags is so very important. That's the thing I've noticed when I work the tower or pit out, the lower run groups tend to not be as aware of the flaggers. QUOTE (bubba353z @ Mar 27 2006) All we can do is prepare our equipment to be as safe as possible, and the rest is in God's hands. It's a shame that so many people don't make safety a higher importance (even some on here). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |
