George and all,
Thanks for attending today’s meeting. I think it was a step in the right direction. Let’s keep the lines of communication open.
Let’s use this as a catalyst for the future.
Curt challenged me. Now I am challenging those who attended and those who did not. Let’s all do our part.Regards,
IanCurt,
I know you don’t want to discourage anyone, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
We Do not have time for any BS :argue (especially ME). My opinion is, if people cannot come to “a meeting of the minds” sober. They should not participate in the meeting.I will assume the role of keeping order to facilitate the meeting. ie Roberts Rules of Order.
I am very proud to be associated with all of you!
Represent the US, CO and BRAD proudly. :cheers: :sun:RACE SAFE!
IanAngie is right: the blue flag is considered as an informational flag, and that a driver should be aware that there are lead karts ready to pass, and to HOLD their line.
Fastg Wrote: Same question regarding yellow – your still under race conditions, but no passing – for how long? I’ve have had the yellow flag violently waved at me and I wasn’t passing – but not backing off either… maybe someone can expand my understanding.
In most cases the flagger will point to the area in question. YOU need to be aware that there is NO PASSING going into the area where the kart is. As far as not backing off, I look at it this way, if you do not acknowledge the YELLOW, ie raise hand or give a thumbs up, you may risk disqualification.
Rolled Black flag means that we are warning you about your driving. CUT IT OUT OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!
Racing Flags
A explanation of the flags used in NASCAR racing.GREEN FLAG — The green flag is used to start all racetrack event activities including practice, individual qualifying runs, and race events. The race is underway and continuing as long as the green flag is prevalent.
YELLOW FLAG — The yellow or ?caution? flag is used to signify trouble on the racetrack which may include wrecks, debris on the track, wet track surface, or any other dangerous condition on the racetrack. KARTERS:BE AWARE! Flagger may point to where the flagger is flagging for.
BLACK FLAG — The black flag is used to inform a race driver of a rules infraction, or unsafe condition concerning his racecar. When the black flag is shown to a driver, he must immediately leave the racetrack and report to his pit box in the pit area.
RED FLAG — The red flag signifies that all action on the racetrack must be stopped immediately. It is commonly used when the race track is blocked by wreckage or deemed unsafe for use. During the time that the red flag is shown crews in the pit and garage areas are not allowed to work on their racecars. All activity, other than that of track safety and clean up crews, must come to a stop. KARTS slow down, raise hand, move off racing line and look for instruction from the corner workers.
BLUE/YELLOW FLAG — This is the ?move over? flag to notify a slower driver that he should move over to allow faster racecars to pass by him because he is holding up the race. It is often shown to drivers who are not on the lead lap and are racing with the leaders in an effort to get their lap back. KARTERS: This maybe displayed to notify that faster traffic may be approaching prior to being in an area where another flagger is. BE AWARE!
WHITE FLAG — This flag signifies that there is only one lap remaining in the race or qualifying run. It lets the race leaders know that they are on the last lap of the race.
CHECKERED FLAG — This flag signifies that the event on the track is over. It is used mainly to let drivers know that they have won the race, or in qualifying time trials, it lets the driver know that his qualifying RUN/RACE is over. NO MAKE UP LAP. PAY ATTENTION!
