Very true. If they didn't give Grant the win, then how can they go back on the Tommy penalty?
That's an interesting question though, what happens if the top five get docked a positiion? Who wins?
shouldn't they just make the yellow be respected as a caution advice, meanning no jump area..??

Grants was much more obvious.
On a serious note, the SCCA flaggers do a great job for a volunteer worker group. They are the benchmark for flaggers in the autoracing world btw. The flaggers work all types of autoracing events... being local races, pro road racing events, F1 to NASCAR... they do an amazing job.
The SCCA flaggers have to go through a class and have a full understanding on the who's, what's, and where things work at a race course, and a lot of them are personal friends of the drivers.
Maybe?... the MX world needs that now? Some type of class or guidelines for the flaggers. Maybe they already do that... but just food for thought.
Being a flagger is a tough job (being car racing, MX, etc...) and they are not always appreciated, but much needed.
They should also do something that they do here in Aus. They should hold the flag up like this guy is the corner before. On the jump itself or closer to the incident the flagger should be waving that flag. Then after the incident there should be a green flag to indicate to the riders that they can continue.
It might be a bit over kill but it works.

Since we are using our thinking caps...let's make them females. Hot females. Hmmm, "The Rockstar Flagger girls". Who wouldn't pay attention then (besides that rumored 1 ex-factory gay guy?)
Some guys, not aimed at you TooOld, need to realize that these guys are flat hauling ass and arent out there looking around. They are focused on their race line, so sometimes one or more may not see or recognize a flag. IMO.
To add to that, I'm not saying that Ponca does everything the best, but when I raced there, I could hear that whistle blowing and it alerted me that there was a flag out ahead, sometimes 2 corners ahead(maybe more? Been years....).

Was that #151 that jumped it at the ending of the clip and was he docked a position?
I hate it when you are right too!

It's not like these guys are out for a Sunday cruise; they are riding at the very edge of control all the time. To get them to notice a flag, first you have to get their attention by standing out in the track a little.
1. Flaggers need to get out on the track and direct traffic.
2. Flaggers need to stop throwing the "Driver Down" flag for stupid reasons.
3. Flaggers need to be trained better. (ie: how they can affect the race in negative ways)
searle may have thought doubling was okay........think about it. searle shouldnt have been penalize...he slowed way the fuck down, safely "jumped" that tiny ass "double" and even moved 10 feet over to his right. and I hate english people but whats right is right.
and he did not land on the back side of the jump....he "cased" it
