flaggers at dunn hill 2
« on: May 21, 2012, 05:22:15 PM »
the flaggers at dunn hill 2 wait for the last second to throw the yellow flag out when a car is setting in the coner stalled and cant get refired when the leaders are comming into three and they never throw the yellow but if it was someone eles when they spin out they would throw the yellow i would see that as a saftey issue ive seen two or three cars get torn up due to the flaggers waiting to the last second or not throwing the yellow going back to the first or second week there was a street stock side ways down on pit road blocking the exit too the pits and they waited for a car to wreck on the track before they threw the yellow  at all  there is alot of favortism with other drivers too they wonder why cars are leaving that track to go race somewhere differnt due to cars getting torn up every week or other drivers using them as a wall guide i know if things dont change up there more cars are going to leave that track cause alot of people dont want to have to throw alot of money in there cars week in and week out but that just what i think

I can assure you there is no favoritism at Dunn Hill 2 and If you believe so give me an example! The yellow comes our as soon as there is a safety concern with ANY car on the track the staff is always looking to make things safer for the drivers and cars instead of complaining on a web site why don't you bring your concerns to the staff at the track!! As far as your whole favoritism thing goes I think they would DQ their own brother !!

Now lets think about that whole post for a minuet.  You are saying that the caution is thrown for some drivers and not for others or we wait to long to throw the caution.  We try to give a driver a chance to get the car fired on their own before we throw a caution.  We are tired of drivers using the yellow flag repair kit night after night.  We have a three spin rule or lets call it a three caution rule.  If you are involved in three cautions or bring out the caution three times in one feature you are black flagged.  We don't care who it is or what your last name is for that matter.  We have a time limit on all races and we have to stick by it.  The fans and drivers don't want to be there all night either waiting for us to line the cars up 10 different times in one feature so we wait to see if a spun driver will go on his own before throwing the caution, which allot of times they do.  If you have a scanner in your car, which all drivers are required to have, you know the tower tells you where a car has spun and where to go to avoid it.  As far as the car blocking the pit exit during the street stock feature i remember it clear.  The caution stayed out till the exit was cleared by the tow truck.  The tow truck went outside the track to get the car.  When turn three flagger made us aware the corner was cleared we went green.  That is one thing about dunn hill 2 speedway, we don't care who you are everyone is treated equal.  If we play favorites give me one example!!!

The driver knows better than the flagger whether or not it's safe for him to pull back into traffic . If a car stops in a bad spot throw the damn flag !!! God forbid somebody gets hurt while you try to teach them a lesson for holding up 'your' show !!!

If there is a driver in a bad spot we will always throw the caution.  There is no lesson to be learned in anyone getting hurt.  This is something blown out of proportion.  Wenever let anyone sit in a dangerous position on the track, so please don't thin like that.  If you have any issues you can e mail me on the track website.

No why would you get DQ'd ? No personal of Dunn hill holds a grudge against a driver or owner for speaking their mind , however if you did have a complaint please go to the track officials and let them know what is is!! Let us explain to you why things are the way they are !! If you get no answers or satisfaction ask the official to talk to Mike or Joe . Just allow us the courtesy of at least trying to address the situation rather than trying to smure the tracks name on race ny!! We hope to see you on Friday and if you have any concerns please come talk to us !

Ok well there is a time limit on races so let's look at it this way and you tell me how happy drivers would be!! You have a hour everytime a car gets turned the caution comes out even if the driver is not in any danger you know have Only enough time too compete in 10 laps of racing because the checkerd is thrown at one hour !! Drivers stop on the track because they fall behind this allows him to catch up to the field it's always the same people and is it fair to the rest of the competitors? And how would you feel only racing 10 laps ? would the fans be happy?

Maybe the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The officials have all the other cars and fans to think about maybe they should just keep the racing on the track instead of on the Internet!!

Matt, your at the drivers meeting every week, you know first hand I do everything I can to make the track a safe place for everyone.  So furthermore after the meeting this week when I ask does anyone have anything you can speak up among your fellow drivers and voice any concerns that you do have with your safety and the safety of your competitors.
