Over Running Flags - Penalty??

Suzy, theres a LOT of things brought up at the riders meeting, but as Mike pointed out, theres not much listening going on.

It'll take someone getting hurt in order for things to change it seems.  I think that is the only reason not much is made of these types of incidents when they happen.

In the Mid-Atlantic region all the flags are discussed at least once during the Saturday riders meeting and then some again on Sunday.

Some riders don't even show up to the meetings, let alone not pay attention. 

[Suzy]

I do realize there is alot of stuff against getting a rider to do what you need him to do.  Is there a fine impossed when a rider does not show up for a meeting, would it do any good?

[Woofentino Pugrossi]

No fine for not showing up. Even when its 'threatened', still about half dont show. Much like the blend line rule at BHF. How many times have we had people WHO RACED THERE REGULARLY cross the blend line coming out of the pits? Or people who go out in the wrong practice session?

At Road America this year, I passed two riders coming up the front straight under a waving yellow.  I saw the flag, but was going so fast, I didn't have time to register what I'd just did.  After turn 1, it all caught up to me and I realized what I'd done.  So after T2, I waved both riders back by me.
