I'm not reading minds, just the rules!

Maybe you should read my post and you will see that I was talking about things said at the track.

You fell that far behind before the yellow, you'll just fall that far behind again. If your not capable of making up 200-300 yards on the pack under a full course yellow, you won't be able to hang with them at race speed.

I do cover when someone yells "four", and I also acknowledge a yellow by doing what the rules say!

BTW, Do you always resort to personal attacks when you can't win a debate?

GRJ--- This whole thing could be fixed if SCCA would authorize a driver initiated signal that a driver could use to warn of yellow flags if a certain driver didnt think the guy behind is seeing the flag.. I think the incar rapid waving of a arm/hand could be the yellow flag warning and an arm outside of the car waiving is a mechanical breakdown signal and ok to pass. the raised closed fist signal would be;"I am pitting"-- which would mean you couldnt pass him until he started for the pits.


Seems it would be an easy change and clarify this whole thing.

four27,
I appreciate your thoughts, but I think we've got enough superfluous signaling going on out there as is without trying to codify it. And I really don't think arms ouside the car are ever a good idea. You keep trying though, someone needs to straighten something out, God knows I haven't been much help in 20 years.
Regards,
G. Robert

I'm sorry, ZRacer22, I didn't make myself clear. I don't mean you shouldn't slow down at all. I mean you don't have to slow down to 10 mph.

I don't think that there is any need for this or that it is a good idea at all. I don't want to have to pay attention to the corner stations, what is going on inside my car, my line/driving, the cars around me AND also have to worry about what other drivers are doing inside their cars. We already have a procedure for warning drivers: Corner workers and flags. I don't want to have to think that I need to see if the guy behind me saw the yellow flag otherwise I need to signal him or he might protest me for not signaling him or something.
