YELLOW FLAG: A) When held stationary-indicates a potentially dangerous situation
near the track or a slower moving motorcycle. B) When waved vigorously-indicates a
hazard or obstacle on the track, avoidance maneuvers may be necessary. Exercise
extreme caution; slow your speed until past the situation. Passing for position under a
waving yellow flag is NOT allowed and the offending rider will be assessed a penalty.
See Chapter 5 under PENALTIES.</TD></TR></TABLE>
That is exactly how our corner workers are instucted - They get little laminated cheat sheets that state the same.
However, the flag rules may indeed be different if Carl is holding the flag. As a very green race organizer I am loathe to contradict him. I picture any possible argument ending with a yellow flag inserted in an uncomfortable and inconvenient location.
Don't mistake what I'm saying - I love Carl. I hope to be Carl some day. That dude tells you how its gonna be, and then, by golly, that's the way it is. In my book, that's about the best thing you could say about a man.
