This from an old superbike race and i hadn't happened across it before so i thought i would toss it up.

this is a terrible example of officiators sleeping on the job.

Wow, that was horrible!  I would have been doing more than flipping people off and yelling!  I might have taken my helmet off and used it to bash some sense into them!

yeah they should have stopped that race to clean the track, but instead decided to watch the mayhem ensue and forget to do pretty much everything else to.  When the leader takes out the lap traffic for example.

Did they lose the yellow flag?  I'm sure a yellow t-shirt from the crowd and a stick would have sufficed.

Oh my, that was terrible!  The one guy chucking rocks on the track isn't going to help any either by hitting pebbles at a buck twenty!

He may have been trying to force the crew to do something about the track.
