Kinda wondering how many have ever flagged before? or that not only do they wave flags around and turn lights on or off that don't work right (Stick up or down), but also keep track of the leaders and keep count of the laps all by themselves , and in your spare time try and watch four corners, two straightways, and up to 20 cars. People yelling lets go! we're running late, hurry!
Or maybe You should know I never asked to be a flagman , I was asked to, because the flagman never showed up. and the night had to go on! For the most part I enjoyed this task. and met many great people(racers and fans) I know my mistakes and believe me I was more upset with me then you were. and as far as lives on the line that has ALWAYS BEEN FIRST AND FOREMOST A PRIORITY OF MINE!
As far as I care Mr. Hotte can have being a flagman, and Hats off to him. You can't watch a race( which is what i enjoy doing), and someone always thinks your picking on them and only them. I grew up at LPS And wish them the Best of luck, I will enjoy sitting in the stands and watching.
Race on, Mike Johnson
