Well, I was in the fast group mainly because of my car at the time. But I wasn't holding anyone up, and I was keeping middle-of-pack lap times. And yes, the flagging team would hit them with the traffic flag. But when there aren't enough flaggers, you can go half a lap or more before the snail in front gets the idea. :lol
The problem with many of the smaller tracks is that there's a skeleton crew flagging their open days. I'm talking about Waterford Hills in MI. There are seven flagging stations (IIRC) plus the starter stand. I can't remember doing a track day with more than four stations manned plus the starter.
It's a volunteer thing, and they don't always have enough people willing to flag, let alone go to flagging school. For the organization-sponsored events, it's a bit different. The Ferrari Club day was fully staffed, plus instructors.
But I digress. I sound like a noob. I suppose with less than twenty track days, I probably am technically.
