very poor officiating all weekend in my opinion! you could cut the time in half if somebody cuffed and shackled the flag man to the stand. holy crap he loves to wander!
......he had the car to beat and the experience to get the job done!!
Yes he did, but if he had of just nudged the 22 up the track in 3, he would have still won the race.Instead he lost his cool and dumped him...............................but it sure was exciting!
pp12....aint that the truth...that flagman seems to think he is the show or something...i dont know him maybe he is a nice guy but he sure gives off an arrogant glow to me...he did the same thing saturday and i remember last year he walked off the stands pouting over something walked up to the tower then down the track holding up the racing for 15 minutes while were freezing our assests and they were out of coffee and hot chocolate....and his white flag is grey he needs a new one...lol
If the race director and flagman thought they were doing a good job they were sadly mistaken. We left halfway through the 'pro' late model enduro disgusted with the wasted time watching cars under caution and the flagmen walking down to the track to rearrange backmarkers.
There was a schedule posted, with more than adequate time for each race. And all they had to do was stick to the schedule. Count caution flags when its running long as they said they would. Time limit the races. Fans come to watch races not caution laps. Sunset has it right, Kawartha has it right, Delaware has always had it right, and now even Flamboro occasionally can do it right. Peterboro is screwed, and I cannot explain why they can't fix it. JP that should be priority #1 for next year. I won't be back until I hear it is fixed.
I can't agree more about the flagman. No disrespect to racers but if your are 2 or three laps down, who gives a shit. The ones to worry about are the lead lap cars. get em straight and let em race. I only went on Sunday with my whole family. $75 to watch an incompetant flagman. I have seen him flag over the years and he is no better now than he ever was. I think a change at the flag stand is def in order. I thought it would get better after the mods but was sadly mistaken. Is it that hard to put lead cars at the front and lap markers at the back?? Think not. I must say that the thunder cars ran an incredible race. Congrats goes to them. The "pro lates".......I have seen as good demos as what I saw there. I think if they had an extended green....81x Mercer would have won. Overall, the racing was good, the flagman sucked ass.
