In defence of nobody!!!!!! Try racing at Flamboro for a season then come back. You will see things in an entirely different light I can assure you of that. It is impossible to make everybody happy but entirely possible to make EVERYBODY miserable.
I believe this thread was suppose to be of some help to the new GM, but not sure if the hour or so it takes to read all some of these is in anyway helpful....LOL
One thing I would like to see changed is not the flagman but the way he starts a race.
At most tracks the flagman controls whether or not the race begins...at Delaware, the drivers seem to decide this...the yellow goes out on the back stretch and by turn three the drivers have already taken off and are at full speed by the time the get out of turn three.
He needs to hold back the green flag and only drop it when the drivers are 75 ft or so from the start/finish..
Saturday racing if possible when Friday is rained out. How many times was Saturday race ready this year after a rain out. My not be possible but its a thought

i noticed this alot too this year at least for the last bit that i was back in canada, maybe the track needs to put in restart line or lines, seeing it is a nascar sactioned track now to make this right, it seemed pretty odd to see people starting so early that would be one way to solve the issue too and as well take away the part of doubt if the flagman started the race or not, jumping the start should result in a restart and if jumped again they should be sent to the back of the field.

The only problem I see with this is what speed are they held at?
Please don't say pace car speed because the leader will always bog down the rest of the field.
If you bog the cars down alot then you run into having to shift and that turns expensive.
