All I have ever said was that the flag was too much like another and to make it something else and to not penalize any rider for an obvious problem. I don't care if it is purlpe, pink or orange, just don't make the riders have something else to worry about on the track.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion, but some opinions, ideas and decisions also come with the responsibility of following through with them. No change ever comes easy (remember two-strokes?) This is a change that must be made to help prevent another serious accident, like Mike Alessi at Red Bud last summer, based on what many of the riders themselves and teams told us would work best in these particular situations.
To your point, I like to think that I always try to do the right thing, and in this case, I believe we have. But I did not penalize Josh Grant; the officials did (and I didn't black-flag J-Law either, though I absolutely agree with the decision to do so, as stated in the rulebook).
The bottom line for me is this: If Josh Grant or Mike Alessi or anyone else had landed on that kid, or those medics, we would be having a much different conversation than what we're having now. I prefer this one.

unless you didn't already know, there is yellow, yellow/red, and red cross.
that's 3.
please begin to stfu
WOW! I very seldom come out of my hole... but that made me make an appearence. I think that says alot about DC, and his backbone! 4-Banger, I get where your coming from... but your approach was awfully rude. I think DC is a stand up guy to take the time to answer any of our questions in an internet forum, as if he doesnt have enough on his plate already...
of course this is just my opinion, now back into my lurking hole until something else is worthy of crawling back out comes up.........
Hats off to DC for his response.
I don't believe that my questions were demanding, I was asking these in the thread that he started and I never received an answer back.
The reason for the no backbone comment is it is clear to anyone who watches the clip that the lapper's wheels come off the ground and I can't find anywhere where he got penalized. If rules are rules then shouldn't he have also been penalized and I believe that DC doesn't want to answer because than more questions are raised.
It is people like you, that make people like DC want to stay away from places like this.
If DC would never have posted on the board this 4-banger feller wouldn't feel like he can make a grand standing thread like this one to DC and he'd of likely never joined the board to begin with and if he did his thread complaining about it would have been 6 posts long (his original posts, and then 4 posts there after telling him to "STFU NOOB" and then one more post from him telling everyone we're jerks and he's leaving the board).
DC can do what he wants, and I"m loving the changes to the series this year and think he's doing a great job, so this isn't a personal attack on him or any of his companies, but in my opinion the industry would be better off if the public figures-like DC-left the message boards to the fans.
IF DC feels he needs to make a statement on the matter, just post it on the racerxonline.com and leave it at that. No need to post it here and give the annonymous, out of touch, irrelevant, and credibleless (is that a word? I don't think it is...oh well, I just used it) morons like 4-banger, a chance to publicly expect their questions to be answered.
Everyone knows where I stand on this...so I'll leave it at that.

I personally wouldn't have given you the time of day.
Changes must and will be made to advance the general safety of our athletes, and while you may not agree with the ideas or the application, most feel this is a step in the right direction.
This is the last thing I will say on this point as it's in the race officials' and AMA Pro Racing's hands: I was as bummed out as anyone when I heard Josh had been penalized, but nothing can match how I felt at Red Bud last year seeing Mike Alessi on the table in the Asterisk rig. Deciding to step up and help make a change may not be the backbone you're looking for, but it's the one I've got.

IMO, your questions were on the stupid side and didn't deserve to be answered. What topped it off, was the disrespect that you threw out after your questions.
Sheesh...they remove the don't ask don't tell policy, and they're coming out of the woodwork. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Mr GSXr down below get an mx pic on your little deelio there would ya ?
AND no further reply is necessary on this topic.
thanks DC !
