[TPR] Team Pantera Racing donates flags to Silver State Classic Challenge

[steve at donegan.org]

Given that my wife, a seasoned naviguesser, told me to stop during that race because she saw a red flag waving (a moment later before I had slowed much she said disregard) I am darned glad about the ruling. As far as I'm concerned they should also have a green flag out there - if you pass a flag station and don't see any flags did that mean everything is OK or you missed it... I'm for no ambiguity at all :-) I'll happily buy the green flags if SSCC will fly them...

And thanks TPR for buying more red flags even though I hate it when they get waved :-)

  Actually l don't think it was others waving flags at cars, I think
    it was other flags that were put up stationary along the course to
    show pride.  Unfortunately they flapped in the wind and caused some
    drivers to wonder what was happening (the colors were too similar to
    course flags).  Others just ignored them if they weren't being waved
    by a course worker.

    

    TPR - furthering the quest to rid the world of ambiguity.

        Thanks AJ for following through with our previous
          commitment and thanks too for helping me 'restrain' myself for
          not wanting to kick the sheeeit right out of the idiots on the
          course waiving flags at drivers......I thought that only
          happened in Mexico.
        I was wrong.

              [TPR] Team Pantera Racing donates flags to Silver State
              Classic Challenge

            

            The 2010 Silver State Classic Challenge had a couple of
            unfortunate 

            incidents which caused the race to be stopped.  During this
            time there 

            was a bit of confusion with flags on the course.  Part of
            that was due 

            to some over-exuberant fans who brought along their own
            flags which some 

            drivers mistook for course flags.

            

            To alleviate part of that problem, SSCC has made it a rule
            that no other 

            flags may be flown along the course other than the standard
            course 

            worker flags.  It also became apparent more flags were
            needed for the 

            multiple course stations.  Team Pantera Racing made a pledge
            on the SSCC 

            message board to donate some flags to SSCC to help make sure
            there were 

            enough on course in case of difficulties.

            

            Today Team Pantera Racing made a donation of five brand new
            Red flags 

            for the course.  We purchased these from Flags! Georgia. 
            You can find 

            them here:

            http://www.unflags.com

            

            These were the least expensive we could find on the Internet
            and they 

            are being shipped directly to SSCC headquarters.

            

            We pray they are -never- needed.  However, we also
            understand the 

            importance of course safety and in Open Road Racing there
            are pretty 

            much only two really important flags...

            Red to prevent you running into an accident down the road,
            and...

            Checkered, so you know the race is over.

            

            Have fun out there, and be safe.
