Dungey and Decoster baggin on that red cross flagger got me thinking - who's flagged a local race? I raced 3 years in AMA District 22 and I was a member of the club that sponsored the Hawkeye Downs races. Whenever I wasn't racing due to bike issues or injury, I was out flagging. Even if I was racing and we were short flaggers, I'd flag between my motos.
It's dirty, noisy, and shit is happening so fast it's hard to be sure what needs to happen and when. It's a tough and thankless job and everyone who's bitchin about the flagging at the races better have some cred from doing it themselves.

To me it did not seem at all like RD and RD were bagging on the flag man, but rather shrugged it off, remained focused and positive.

Then you start this thread where you criticize the criticizers!
I bet if RD and RD had your experience at flagging they wouldn't be baggin on the poor guy. (Not that they ever did, but lets not let facts get in the way)

It offsets the cost of my son's riding.
Make my son do it every now and then as well.
Not a very difficult job but can make for some long days.
And frustrating when riders ignore your flag.
The track / series didn't have money to pay for flaggers, so they used this model to solve it. Worked out pretty nicely i'd say since riders knew where to look out for to keep eachother save!
Flagged a couple local sno-x races too.
