One thing that's obvious, but never gets mentioned is freedom. As drivers, we show up when we want to. And when we get there, we do what we want when we want. Want to skip a session? Fine! Want to work on the car? go right ahead. Want to go spectate? Sure! Spectate whereever you want! Time to race? Have fun! When you're done, you can leave...or stay and watch.. It's up to you. Heck, if you want to go hang at a flag station for a session or two, you can do that too! Is it too cold? Hang in the heated motorhome, or car, or trailer. Raining? Stay under the canopy....

But the typical flagger gets there early AM, has a mandatory meeting, gets loaded into a truck, driven to a corner ...not of his choosing, and paired with either 0, 2 or 2 other people, ...not of his choosng, and then spends the morning looking up, or down track. Then back in the truck, rush in for lunch, stand in line, eat, then back to do it again. In the sun, the rain, the wind, even the occasional snow. Somedays they might get to pick the corner, or their corner buddies, but not always.

Now, who has it better.???

But the FACT is Jake that everybody is making their own choice of how they want to participate in this sport. Why can EMRA put on an event with just a hand full of workers ?
