Yeah, concerning re-runs...a couple of GIR events ago...I was going thru the first sloalom and noticed there was a worker on the corse holding a cone up ahead. I immediatly slowed down and was searching to see a flag waving. But to no avail...the worker ran off the course as I approached his position (he was about 100 yards ahead of me). So i kept going.

It really threw me off mentally...as I apprpached the next gate I ended up
hitting a cone that wasn't even a easy one to hit. I was too busy trying to figure out why this dude was out there on the track and still looking ahead for flags.
After I finished I expected to be re-ran...but nothing happened, and I didn't want to press the issue. Since the workers had been out there quite some time due to clock failue or something.

I noticed later from my incar cam video the worker in question was holding one of the cones from the cone sloalom I was driving on as he was running off course!!!
He was way too close to my speeding car!!! It didn't occure how close, until I saw the video. I should post a still to show you, but I'm not at home right now.
What do you think I should have done in that instance? Stop? Should I have appealed for another run? Oh well....that was my last run that day too.
