I hadn't intended to post in this thread. What the heck do I know about :greenflag:ing a race? But, I have to jump in to state my complete agreement with this post. With respect to USAC, I go all the way back to a time when Ken Fowler was flagging. Ray Schaike, also a former 'Burg flagman, was the finest USAC flagman I had seen until Tom came along. Now the two of them are tied for numero uno IMHO. Further, I find it incredible that Dave Wilson isn't flagging somewhere. He had made tremendous strides and was the equal of any flagman doing regular shows at any IN or OH track I have visited, again just IMHO.This is NOT, in any way, a criticism of any other laundry wavers, and certainly I am not questioning the ability of the current 'Burg guy, Tim Montgomery.
