I have seen a "bad" trend recently at Bloomington Speedway. The "new" flagman, not Rusty, has an issue with the yellow flag according to my observations. Case in point, last night's KISS race, the flagman would look at a stopped sprint car and then look back at the rest of the field and not throw the yellow quickly and allow the field to continue under green...3-4 times this happened last night...Not sure if he doesn't know sprint cars can't start up again, on their own, after they are stopped or what...bottom line! He is going to get someone hurt!!! Last night, I was told, "well, he's new" so what? tell that the family of the driver who gets hurt, or explain why someone's car is damaged badly because of his inabiltity to flag correctly...Why wait until someone gets hurt to fix this problem...


Thanks to Bloomington Speedway for running a quick program, last night, and avoiding a possible rain out/delay...also THANKS to DON SHORT and INDIANA STONE WORKS for his continued support of sprint car racing and the KISS series!!
