Noticed last night at the races at 34 Raceway the flagman used the BLACK FLAG during one of the races. After the driver had caused a yellow, he was then sent to the pits. Guess he didnt take that flag/call back.......sorry driver he must not be "close buddies" with you. If you would have stopped on the track and complained you may have changed their mind, you know other drivers sure have convinced the OFFICIALS/OWNERS. Be fair or give it up......

I believe the track is for sale, If you were to buy it you could call all the shots and life would be good for you.

a500tt My point has nothing to do if the track is still for sale or the owners its the people that work there need to make fair calls week in and week out. I do understand that there will be some calls that slip. BUT WHEN THE FLAGMAN THROWS THE BLACK FLAG FOR THE #1 CAR TWO WEEKS AGO THEN TAKES IT AWAY CUZ HE STOPS ON TRACK HOW IS THAT FAIR. WHEN HE WAVED THAT FLAG IT WAS FOR A REASON.........PERIOD. THIS PAST SAT. HE WAVED THAT BLACK FLAG AND GUESS WHAT THAT DRIVER WENT TO THE PITS SO BOTTOM LINE IS USE IT IF YOU SEE THE INCIDENT, OR GET RID OF IT AND TAKE THE DRIVERS WORD (as he stops on track to talk to official....the 3rd stop of the feature btw) BECAUSE THAT SEEMED TO WORKOUT JUS FINE FOR THE DRIVER.

My understanding is that there are four or five people in the infield that work as spotters. They can overturn a call by the flagman if the general consensus is that the call was either not correct, or something happened on track that the flagman was not completely privy to. This is were it is better left to the track to make the calls. Right or wrong, they saw what they saw. Mistakes are going to happen. Maybe this last Saturday nights events are the beginning of a turn around for the track, but only time will tell....Jim Clark

HRH10 Have you actually talked with 34 about your problem? Or are you just on a forum bashing a race track for trying they're best to put on a show and make everyone happy. It seems to me that no matter what 34 Raceway does it doesn't make you happy unless it benefits you and your program. My recommendation would be to stop racing there and go to another track were you may or may not have it go your way. OH! I guess 34 is one of the only tracks trying to put on a weekly sprint race? Maybe you could try Knoxville? But I wouldn't get on here and complain about Knoxville you may get even more people upset then what you already have! Before you sling mud make sure you know what you're talking about rule wise cause that is why the black flag was overturned!

my guess is hrh10 was the little boy that took his ball and went home when the game wasnt goin in his favor,,,,,,so maybe he should just stay at HOME instead of goin to the races on saturday night and then if he dont like what he is watching he can just change the channel.....not trying to be rude but this guy/girl never has anything positive to say about 34 so why would he/she keep going.....tell us your name hrh10 so maybe we can send an official to you on saturday so he can explain his calls to you in person..
