That's the proper positioning (watching each other's backs). The guy looking forward is there to see problems down the track (not at that station). The previous flag station might have seen the door open and called it in to race control.
Many thanks to all corner workers out there!!!!!!!!!!! Without you I wouldn't be having our fun and I appreciate how you help to keep it safe. It's a tough thankless job and not as easy as you'd think.
If you haven't ever done it, take some SCCA training go flag for some races sometime. Good seat to see the action and it'll give you a better appreciation for both sides of the track.
