Man its amazing how Rick is the only starter around the big leagues that throws the flag infront of the dowel as opposed to letting the flag go behind it (ex. Rodney or Kevin). Wind is a bitch when it comes to throwing a flag like that (i speak from experience cause I throw in front of the dowel)... so hard not to get tangled up
There are little tricks to keep it from getting tangled. First is to not make small loops (very quick movements), instead make them wide loops. Second, keep your arm in front of you and when you make your loops (figure 8's) keep it angled down so the flag won't hit you. I guess i'll have to make a video of this.
Man that wind was abusive on Rick's style!! he was fighting the wind all day. Notice the control box is on the railing this time, not on the light switch, its been awile since they did that.

How come they have to tell a driver one lap to go?
jrc53us 2 years ago
Because the driver usally dosent know what lap it is so they have to give the drivers the signal that theres one more lap.
