This would be for all aspiring future flagmen...

When you turn the caution light off on the back stretch the young hard chargers are expecting a green flag. Don`t fool them with a ready, set , STOP like kids on a playground. Give them the green and turn the caution back on when the leaders get to the back stretch. In my years of fooling with this sport, maybe the front 2 guys are watching you and the rest are worried about their surrounding racers. This would be especially a concern when it`s a B-main full of kids that might be short on laps. The 1/2 second they have to make the right decision is easier with a little space between competitors.

Just another bad call by another bad paragon flagman. Not to say I can do any better. But I don't call my self a flagman unlike others.
