Steve, as usual you know it all and you've seen the videos. Well guess what I can post two video's (do a simple search and you'll find both videos.) which show the YELLOW outside entry to T7 and neither car slows until they get real close to the accident. I'm sorry to all as per Steve only non pack drivers are expected to view the yellows. If you watched Cooper's video you'll find the yellow came out about the time he was turning in at T7. He may have missed the YELLOW. There's another video from a car behind Cooper's which shows the yellow all ready out. They all should have been slowing when they observed the YELLOW at the T7 station or viewed the dust and such on track.
The solution would be to have systems where flag lights come on in EACH car's dash as said flag is shown. They have said systems at short tracks. Then for drivers who do not pay respect to flags/lights they get a suspension of some sort. Steve how many drivers with serious injury's and cars do we have to total before finding a solution?
Guess what, they have said systems for road race tracks. I'd guess there are also other systems.

Had this system been in use I'd suggest not nearly as many driver body injuries and car damage would have occurred. And if drivers failed this system the drivers have their SCCA drivers license taken away.

Im all for anything in the name of safety.. But if the yellow had not been thrown it would not show up in the car? As I said, I did not get a yellow until I was nearly into t12 and I didnt see any yellow in any of the crash videos? Did I miss one? I know it sucks, but this may have just been a terrible incident that was for the most part unavoidable? I'm sure everyone could have done a little better, but I dont think it stops any of the big hits into Rowans car, maybe Domms?
