When will the flagman be replaced by a monkey is what I want to no ? Electronic this electronic that, horsesh*t. The guy that crosses under the checkered flag in front wins, period. Great finish to that race, the nose in front wins. That green, red and yellow light bulb can be activated by anyone.

I was at a race where the press box was directly behind the flagstand, this kid they had up there spent more time looking into the press box than watching what was going on on-track. He would literally watch behind him and wave the green when he was signaled to. By the way, this was at a woo slm event.

LIDAR. Hell, drone footage would do just fine.

So they can string a well identified wire, lights etc over wherever this imaginary plane they want to call the finish line is about 15 feet off the ground over the track, mount a camera at an angle to capture it from a Birds Eye view and use that as the finish line marker.

I’m great with the transponders calling just because I am….but if we need video proof to please folks string something like that up and announce at the meeting where it is in case there is a close call.

The series could probably bring something like that around with them, they could stuff the poles and wires into the same bag they have their victory lane banners etc…….again I’m good with the transponder call, but some aren’t and since there is no painted finish line on a dirt track stringing it from above would be cheap and fairly easy?

They had a cone placed at the transponder line last night at Davenport.

Not sure what that accomplished but that is the first time I've seen the line marked at a track.

If Essex didn't point out the cone 100 times, good ole Lucas Oil Makin it appear they are proactive, I call bullsh*t, it was totally reactive. It's call covering there behind.

You start going by the nose and the noise pieces will get longer and longer.

[Highside Hustler25]

Maybe they should try string.

A laser light, Just like your garage door!!!

That's already a performance advantage if not checked.

I don't know why they would need to cover their behinds. What did they do wrong?

Fail to properly address a close finish before it happened.

[mskdorf]

Didn’t this same thing happen at Florence a few years ago with Josh Rice and EPJ? I think it may have been the Latham race. Looked like Rice won but EPJ got the win.

They're as proactive as NASA was before Challenger and Columbia exploded.
