A GOOD blue flagger will not blue flag the same cars lap after lap. Once
he/she has seen them together 1 or 2 times, the flagger should know that
the drivers are aware of each other.
You should also be aware that many vintage events do not require flaggers
to be SCCA members/license holders, and very often the corners are manned
by inexperienced workers who are learning on the job.
