Corner workers do not have the authority to throw a red flag, only the chief
steward does. A waving flag means SLOW DOWN, there's IMMEDIATE DANGER!!!
Obviously some drivers are just oblivious to yellow flags!

I discussed this with a veteran flagger who has also trained SCCA flaggers. He
happened to be on the seen
this past weekend at the Glen. It was his opinion that and any Flagger seeing a
blocked track and immanent
danger could and should throw a Red flag. He said that the flagger may be asked
to explain himself at a
incident meeting.
Any SCCA flaggers out there have an opinion on this.
