Grixxer, I cann't comment on the flagging at the light on Quarry as i didn't witness (being in pitlane), but remembering a training day from the other year, a question about sighting was rasied, and with Avon Rise/Quarry In, and it was said that if Quarry In had waved yellows, then if deemed nesseary Avon Rise would also wave yellow, due to drivers not seeing Quarry In after coming over the brow of the hill...

Very Very Frustrated by needless hold ups at some points of the meeting!!!!!!!
I'm sorry to be blunt but a number of us sat at Quarry today just could not understand why a saftey car was needed when it never has been used for the same incidents in the past!!

Ok, safety car today (Sunday), I'm sure Combe Marshal can confirm/add as he was Safety Car observer today. We had incidents...
DMN Saloon's or FPA Race 1, Have a feelin Safety Car was used, but cant remember which...
CC FF1600, 1 car in backwards Esses out & 1 car in forwards at Tower -
Resulted in Red Flag.
CC Saloons, 2 cars in heavy at Folley.
Resulted in Red Flag
FPA Race 2, 3 in at Quarry, Safety Car deployed then 1 middle of track minus a wheel at Startline. Resulted in Red Flag
There was some serious and major accidents today, thanfully nothing hurt/broken except wallets and cars. It's the first time in a few years I've known red flags at Combe. And you'll have notice the 45 minute stop to clear up the CC Saloons... Be honet as AF would say we did a "bloody good job" and still finished all our race's before curfew and thats even with the Historic F3's wanting to race on slicks in the wet
