Always thought this was a little odd they allow them to do this. I understand they are rooting for there rider but at first glance seeing a white, red, or whatever color towel could be mistaken at first glance as a track worker waving a flag. Plus are they really allowed to be standing on the edge of the track like that? The geico guy is pretty much waving his hand over the track and is right on the edge of the track. That has to be a safety hazard and you think someone would say, "Hey dude, you need to back up off the track a little bit."
What the hell, lets just ban the sport, surely if we try hard enough we can save everybody from themselves!
Ahaha just messing with ya, I see your point, some of them guys are damn close.
Anything can happen, after that track worker almost lost his life at Washougal it's something to think about.
The rider Mechanics are usually in an area, but other mechanics, team members are spread throughout the track some driving their utv's.
I have seen some sketchy situations during a race and utv's driving on the side of the track, a few years ago. I haven't seen them lately being used during the race, so maybe they addressed that.
