I'm with you Myles, I give VARA great credit for pulling off the LA GP with
only minor glitches. I guess I'm more forgiving than some because I was
involved in putting on the Northwest Historics in July and realize how hard
it is to get everything to work out with volunteer help. The course was "Oh
So Tight" but manageable if one backed off a bit. The #58 Tiger did well and
stayed out of trouble with a little help from the other Tiger drivers letting
us know who to watch out for. I was concerned that VARA seemed to take such a
light approach to passing under the yellow flag. I was passed twice under
waving yellows and was told by the other VARA Tiger drivers that the drivers
who passed me do that often and always get away with it. Sad, but real
dangerous. We at SOVREN in the Northwest are very serious about passing under
the yellow because we want to protect drivers, workers and our sport. I only
hope they don't have an injury before they take yellow's seriously.
