How about the flagger at Seminole Tribe Motocross on sunday. The track was awesome, it was really fun to ride on, but the flagger and scoring had to have been the worst i've ever seen. The guy would throw out a white flag at least twice in most of the motos, he couldnt keep track of who was leading, and apparently couldnt count to four because some races ran up to six laps. This is probably what messed up scoring because people would pull off of the track the next lap after a white flag, but the guy would wave another white flag. It costed me two positions in the second moto. The second motos were already going and they only had up to race 6 posted on the board, I think there was 23 motos or something like that. The facility was in good shape, but if they want to hold bigger events, then that is deffinitely an area that needs some work because way too many motos got really messed up on sunday.

keep track of your own laps oh yea keep racing till you see the checkerd flag !!!!!!!!!
and hire responsible staff if you own a track...
dang, sucks about the staff neglegence, how groomed was the track, i didnt get a chance to go :'(
how'd you do?
The track got TERRIBLE by the end of the day! Even Florida400ex said he has never seen it THAT bad....people were wrecking all over
Or forgetting their gas cap!!!!!
It was my first time to the track and for the most part it was a good flowing track. To dry cuz they haven't had any rain in a long time. With that said, I doubt that I go back. Just to far of a drive for me.
Yeah, That flagger was dumber than a bag of dead chickens :stoogies.gif

HEY NOW No reason to bring up the gas cap incident :-X
Actually I love that track. I just have never seen it get that bad...
if you are going to macon GA for the nationals that is the track to practice on.
The track definetly got beat, and I was about to go make that flagger my pregnant dog after screwing Orange450 over like that, if that happened to me I'd probaly ghost ride my bike right into him. Maybe for the next event, I can have one of my parents help with the scoring, they both know how to count to 4 and see who comes in what place :D
the flgger did it to alot of people that day. the track was really fun though i didnt think it got too bad at the end of the day, just had to find the good lines. All of the jumps were still do-able though, i didnt think that any of them were gonna be good still
