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

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

I've been at track events where course workers had no flags up and others set 
the green flag up and in a couple cases where course worker FORGOT he had left a 
YELLOW flag up long after track had been cleared....but never saw a red flag 
misused and the couple times I saw a BLACK flag all I can say is I was innocent 
(not) ;-)

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 :-)
