not sure where you got that, i attended both riders meetings and that's not what was said.
I didnt hear that either...but straingly enough John did not go over the rules for passing very well at the main meeting..he just said do it safely...he may have said something at the green meeting.....green was the last grp to sell out so lots or riders in that grp that did not belong...my buddy running in green said people were passing everywere in that grp...im sure that made it difficult for the rookies. Lots of them dont know how to hold there line....even in yellow.. guys were passing and cutting your line way too soon...had a couple of oh $#@& moments my self. Too many bikes on the track to be safe....hope the next one is better. Marshals had good reason to be upset re the red flags BUT i think if they enforced the corner rules things may not have got that far out of hand.
