Pat--
Dare I ask how long THAT one took to conjure?
I'm not blaming the flagman for obeying the orders that were given to him, unless HE was the one who cooked them up. I DISLIKE unnecessary caution flags. I feel this one was not required based on commonsense, but obviously required based on the edict put forth at the driver's meeting. Rules are rules, I understand, but as far-flung as the "Commie-Nurse-Hagen-Holocaust"-scenario is, there is nothing far-flung in perceiving that caution flags breed bunched-up fields, and exponentially increase the likelihood of "incidents"--which, frankly, I more expected to see in turn two on the restart off of what I presumed would be a Hagen slider right out to the cushion to shut the door on Ballou. My relief that Hagen shortened his slide and settled for second lasted about 5 seconds, whereupon he was offering his candidacy for "Highest Altitude of the Year", which I would hope he wins.
On the lighter side....I'd like to learn more about this Nurse Zhivago....
SCECKERT Your acting like the field was stretched out. They were not. Ballou, Hagen, and Jones you could have thrown under a blanket. Whether the caution came out or not has nothing to do with bunching the field up. What happened could have happened without the caution falling. The caution had absolutely nothing to do with that incident. Hagan just flat out got in too hard. Like I said, that could have, and probably would have happened anyways. Hagen was on Ballou's bumper the whole race. Now if Ballou had a straight away lead, maybe you have something. But you don't.
