Corr's new full 2 lap caution what do you think about it. i didnt like it its not real racing but then again it makes more wheel 2 wheel action.

i didnt like the idea behind it, it must suck when youre hard earned lead is stolen like that, just like in nascar. But theres no doubt about the fact that it did make things more exciting.

On Saturday I Would Bet Greaves Did Not Like It. He Broke During The Yellow. It Worked For Us In The Stands. It Bunched The Cars Or Trucks Back Together. It Was Great To Me.

Every driver I talked to hated the yellow flag, and understands why CORR wants to use the flag to intensify the racing. I personally don't like it either.

Lets see full coarse yellow= better action which= more fans which= more $$$ which= larger winnings which= harder racing which= better action... hummm it seems so fimiliar... Oh well it is a stupid idea. I mean racing is lame if anyone other than the rich and famous get to do it, right?

But hey I just wish I was in SoCal so I could be there with or without full coarse yellows. 3 more years, only 3 more years....

I think longer races, better jumps and less classes is the right direction but then again I just upset a ton of people so maybe not...

Look for the FCY at Terribles Cup too.

Underexperienced corner workers = danger to them and the racers.

I would prefer to see a mandatory tire change.... Coarse or Fine it added excitement...!!

I think this is the dumbest ideas corr has ever had. No offense but i hope they leave that in California. I don't think it would ever work on the mid west tracks. in pro lite We'd still have drivers coming out of the gravel pit if they restarted at the finish line in Crandon. Same with Bark River...
maybe it's a way so the feild can catch back up to Johnny Greaves

The yellow laps didn't realy affect me this time around, but that doesn' mean I agree with it. Our kind of racing doesn't need a break in the action just to bunch up and race again. One racer's opinion, sounds like it's shared by many.

In the beginning I didn't think it was a good idea. Your right, the only one that potentially hurts by this is the leaders. Proven fact, in most cases leaders before yellow will go on to win.

Fact is I like it. It actually makes one race, two races and creates double the excitement for fans. CORR is trying to grow off road-racing fan base similar to NASCAR.

Think about it, how many restarts are in the average 2 hour NASCAR race? CORR races last 15 minutes so why not make it more exciting and mix it up a little? NASCAR fans will tell you their favorite races are Daytona and Talladega Superspeedways. Why? Because restrictor plate racing. Restrictor plate racing effectively does the same thing, BUNCH EM UP. Yeah the leader might not like it, but what grows the sport is fan excitement.

I LIKE IT!

I think of how supercross lets you really see who has the skills, and pulls away from the pack (RC or Bubba Stewart), and that's how CORR should be also (Greaves running away with it). Instead of the caution flagging thing, I'd much rather see another race run start-to-finish.

As a driver there were pros and cons, on both days it gave me a chance to close in on the leader, I just couldnt make the pass. The only thing I thought was that the yellow should come out at the half way point. Other than that, it seemed as though the fans liked it.

A Full coarse caution is a great idea and hope it stays that this way. I started last sunday and on my 5 lap i got tangled with the 2nd place car (Jeff Knupp) and got a flat. I ran with a flat in 4th place for a few laps until the caution came out. I pitted and went to the back of the field. Took the green again and got up to 8th place at the checkard. If there wasn't a full coarse caution i would of been a lap down at the end of the race...

I was in the infield flagging for cautions. If you remember last year. The first weekend was business as usual. Mr. Baldwin was not impressed with the ticket sales and thought by adding a full course yellow it would get more attention and excitement. I know from insiders at CORR they dont like it. I guess we have to get use to stadium type of offroad racing. It is ticket sales driven. Unlike our Desert racing. They will do whatever is needed to get sales up.

As a spectator I liked it because we got more action, but it sucks for the drivers.

and thats why supercross is not nascar...bubba or RC wins every race. Granted supercross is huge but its not nascar huge.
