He wasn't trying to interfere.  Deegan was just cleaning the mud out of his tire. Normally the tire works better without mud in the grooves.

I have no problems with the penalties but if you have that many red cross/red light jumping violations there is something systemic going on and it should be looked at internally to understand why.

That's what I was thinking.

Either there was a visibility problem or an attitude problem.

One should be punishable. The other, not so much.

Remember the incidents in supercross when several 450 riders jumped on a Red Cross flag and in the 250 main event Jo, who was leading, rolled a jump with red lights and was passed by riders who ignored the lights and jumped anyway? If it’s an attitude problem, they fostered it with the “leader light” and related bullshit that they came up with to justify their decision to not penalize anyone.

There needs to be professional flaggers for the whole series… whatever the cost, it needs to happen. Its super egregious for this many penalties to happen, let alone on red crosses. 

But a tshirt and hotdog is supposed to be acceptable. And then randomize the people every weekend….. people like to shit on safety, until catastrophic damage occurs… playing with fire imo

When are they going to start handing out penalties for guys rolling around in qualifing and  waiting for someone who is on a heater to purposely get in their way to screw up their lap?

Or a penalty for going outside of the white markers to get out of the way.

For 30 people to get a penalty for jumping when there was a red light (not flags) where was this light on the track because it’s pretty obvious that it was not in the riders line of sight for it to happen to that many.

BS. I was there. All those section 16 penalties in 250....That was my section. I was tight up to the banner waving my flag as the riders come out of the corner before the quad. The lights were at the bottom of the take off to the quad. No way they couldn't see me and the lights. The flag was waving and the lights were on. They say it at off-road races all the time....don't follow the butt ahead of you. These guys got bunched up, got tunnel vision and that's it. People can downvote all they want. When they go to a national and work as a wheels on the ground flagger with a spotter, then maybe they should comment

At Budds Creek I watched the flagger with the red flag up the side of the hill across the track from the mechanics area so no one could see it unless they looked the opposite direction.

Where the flaggers and red light is Must be in a visible area in the direction the riders are looking.

I can't speak as to any section other than 16, where I was flagging. Outside the corner, tight to the banner, flag high. The riders could absolutely see me. The lights are on the approach to the takeoff for the quad, facing the riders, 50+ft from the corner. No way you can miss them. Now please explain how these red light/flag infractions occured at FL different sections. Are we going to say that several sections of the track the riders couldn't see the lights OR the flagger?

Back in supercross the AMA let riders get away with violating the rules - in the case of Pearce Brown, he gained an advantage over Jo to the point of making a pass for the lead which he held onto for the win. Two 450 riders jumped on the Red Cross flag with no penalty. Several of us pointed out at the time that they just disincentivized obeying the flags/lights. So now everyone jumps and everyone gets a slap on the wrist so it’s all evening out. Think about that: everyone doing it and then getting the same (non-monetary) penalty is essentially identical to nobody being penalized. They created a situation with how they handled the Shimoda situation where the person penalized is the person following the rules. What a shit show - and it’s the entirely predictable result of the AMA’s previous stupidity. .
