Its up to the flagman to "START" the race when he decides everybody is ready. After all he is the one looking the field over and IS THE RACE STARTER! If not, he throws the yellow, points a black flag at problem driver and next time hes outa there!
In my opinion, he is "main man in charge" of the race. What he says, goes. Not the promoter or track owner.
YOUR 100% RIGHT I SAID THAT ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:checkered:
