I've always respected those folks standing at the corners
Let me just add my praises to those expressed by Carl. Wherever I go, from
Mid-Ohio to VIR to wherever, I r-e-a-l-l-y appreciate the efforts of the
flaggers. It's comforting approaching Turn 1 at Mid-Ohio or the rise in the
long straight at VIR to cast a glance at the flaggers and know all is well
beyond the line of sight. And I, too, always provide a salute on the cool
down lap (thought I was the only one!)
Incidentally, did any of your drivers ever look to the right as you
approach that rise at VIR? I asked that of another driver, and he said,"No,
what's on the right?" And I replied, "God,...and he's smiling!"
