Most tracks I've been to, there is a "flagman" in the turns in jeans and a t-shirt who stands there for 30 seconds or a minute before moving to a crash site. Lincoln Speedway, there fire crew, and Andy should all be recognized for their contributions to make this situation just a learning experience and not a mourning experience as well. AJ.
I've never been to Lincoln so I can't dispute what you're saying, but if there is a fire crew on scene in full gear, how is it that the first responder didn't have face protection? I could see that if he wasn't part of the fire crew but in that case where were they?
