At about the third or fourth lap through as I was clearing Station 8 I did notice a a furled flag pointing to drivers right. I was not clear as to the color ( I was a little busy). I didn't know what to think. I shared this information with the Race Officials and Stewards when questioned susequent to them visiting Station 8 during the lunch beak My understanding of a "furled black" is that it is a Start/Finish or designated "black flag station" - flag only ( I could be wrong about this), and that it might accompany a car number and be followed by a open black and car number. Now the Corner Captain is routinely at Start/Finish and may have been using his descretion for a closed black but I was unfamiliar with this practice and like I said could not make out the color. No flag was displayed on the next lap at Station 8. Keep peddlin' right? [/b]
