So if I’m about to get lapped now I’m going to race the leader even harder not to be black flagged. Does this not make it unfair to the leader as no one else will has to deal with this? There has to be a better way.

What if.... 😄  they had 2 designated "exit" spots on opposite sides of the track, as soon as the leader gets within 15 seconds of a lapper he gets black flagged, and has a red light on his cross bar that lights up as well, similar to the green leader light. It could even be automated. Then that rider has to exit at the next "Exit area" and whatever position they're in is where they finish. Get them off the track before they're a problem. No more blue flags just black. 

Then if they don't have a big claw drop down and pluck them out of the way lol

At the same time, Vince went 15-15-12.  He beat Factory Kawis Marchbanks.  So this doesnt solve what people are mad about. 

Idk what you do

VitalMX normally: Man, the gates aren’t even being filled, the sport is in a terrible place. Ya well the privateers don’t get paid so they don’t show up to race.

VitalMX this week: SX should go to a 15 man gate, these privateers are just getting in the way.

Classic VitalMX lol, nobody is ever happy.

How about just suspending Friese for two races? End of story. If he does it again, then he is out for four races. If you are getting lapped and you don't get out of the way, then you are out for the next race or two. 

This would solve the problem as it would make them pay attention. Pretty simple.
