Maybe it would help if some of you had actually BEEN at the meeting, and SEEN the damage in person. Graeme Holmes was very lucky to escape without injury. Had he been in an older spec car, he may not have been so lucky. GT has a very valid point, and at no stage did he say the flaggies did a poor job and caused the accident. He is highlighting the fact that at a National meeting, there were no flaggies present for the Friday practice. Yes, is was classified as private practice, but how many private practices have ANY of you been in where the sessions are scheduled for you? There was a clearly set otu schedule for each category on the Friday. I've never been to a "private practice" where this was the case, atbest it was separated into open wheelers and closed cars, and occasionally a separate sportssedans session if needed because of the huge speed differential.

The simple fact is that had there been even ONE flaggie per point on the Friday then we would not have had a 5 car incident in the F3s. That is FACT. It has nothing to do with any of the drivers abilities behind the wheel either.
