I've been known to walk out to the edge of the track and put the black flag in the driver's face. Not recently, but I have done it. Completely frowned upon any more!<br><br>Doug<br>dmitchel@sbcglobal.net<br><br>BillDentin@aol.com wrote:<br><br><HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><HTML><FONT COLOR="#400040" SIZE=3 PTSIZE=12 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">In a message dated 05/21/2015 1:02:45 PM Central Daylight Time, fot@autox.team.net writes:<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">The black flag is used at all levels to signal the driver to they have committed some kind of offense. Furled (closed) for a minor warning and open for a major one. In these cases it is shown with a number board and at start and a black station. <BR>

Furled BLACK flag means, "...you've done something wrong. We have seen it. Do not do it again!"<BR>
<BR>
Waving BLACK flag means, "...you SOB! You have done it again! STOP IT!"<BR>
<BR>
Usually the third time they actually throw the BLACK flag at you.<BR>
