Can anyone tell me if they see much warning of yellow flags to cars behind you by giving some kind of hand signal? Had an interesting situation this weekend where the car in front of me waved his hands up high alot. I thought he was signaling he was broke so I went around him. He says he was making sure I saw yellow flags. After going around him and seeing that he kept going I realized he was trying to signal me for something else and fearing a penalty, I let him go by me, all under double yellow. I then proceeded to get around him in last part of race. I have never seen anyone warn of a yellow flag ahead of me before and in light of the fact that the GCR does not make provisions for warning a fellow driver of a yellow but it does indicate that raising your hand is how you show you are broke down and it is ok to go around.

I am told in oval track and other forms of racing outside of SCCA that warning of flags is common but not in SCCA type racing. I got penalized one racing position.

Any feedback.
