    ^^Thats awesome. Your thoughts are totally what I was thinking too when I was flagging!

    Its ridiculous how great the flagging experience can be for a race fan. I've been a racing fan forever so to be so close and to have such access is mind boggling to me. It was weird being on the other side of the fence talking to fans. And on the street circuit, I could feel the air displaced by a car going by and in one case I got dinged in the face by a bit of rubber. It was nuts.

    Did you see yourself on the broadcast?

    Thanks much for the generous offer, but I can't do a trip like that now.

    I did not watch the broadcast, just the highlights. It looked like the camera was at an angle that cut me off from the field of view, which is fine. Don't want my mistakes for all of America to see! Lol.
