Toughest Corner workers in the world!

[cstem]

Matt, Mike, and all you guys,  thank you for the constructive criticism about the flag issues.  You are correct the red was tossed twice accidentally and dangerously.  I was in the tower (even with my wireless mic I was not going into that windstorm!) during both and can only chalk it up to race control and the cornerworkers not ever working together before.  The National control person did things a little different.  The first red flag was most likely cornerworker fault as they were brand new workers and quite green.  It is real hard to get workers on a Friday since most people work, all I can say is sorry and I am glad no one was hurt and that it was rectified in the scoring dept.  The second one was with corner workers that have worked with us before and am not sure what went wrong there.  May have been a newer trainee.  As I understand, Sat/Sun corners all had at least one CCS experienced worker. Who knows, with all the heat and wind, could have affected the workers judgement.  I know I have seen all manner of boneheaded moves from racers when it gets hot and they lose concentration.  Once again, thankfully no one was hurt and the situation was rectified.  I will say the CCS Control and the cornerworkers went to school on the situation and everyone learned something. On the whole, with as many racers and classes ae we had, I was really surprised we weren't out there racing on Monday! And- we did not shorten one single race or session - AND had one extra race!  I really put the sucess of this on the cornerworkers for being there, flagging well through the remainder of the weekend and helping clean up when the USS Valdiz came to visit (damn Buells- you can dress them up, move the shock around and slapp a bunch of aluminum on it- but it is still and oileaking 883! :o)  So good comments from the racers and heres to hoping we never see it again.-Cory
