Chad brought that up in class, I think his words were "red flag means bad shit is happening on track, why are we using it, cant we use another color?" and Unk said 'just this once, for the drill, its how we're doing it'.

Yea, after it was fed I was sitting on grid, I shut off the car and Laura was standing there, so I asked her WTF, she was like, you guys didn't stop on a red flag. I was like, uh, you need to go talk to Unk, so she took off towards the classroom. I was like, yep, figured that would happen. Oh well. I'm just glad the red wasn't being thrown for a 'real' reason.

Agreed. that was AFU x 10
I thought JJ was going to explode. The red flag means only one thing as Chad so eloquently described. When you hear that on the radio.....it is scramble time.
Now, generally a red flag is followed by the black flag to clear the course when it is safe to do so, but the red ALWAYS means come to a controlled stop on the side of the course.....preferably in view of a flag station and wait for the next signal.
