On the start of Stewarts heat race, they showed a camera angle from behind at the starting line. Just to the left of his throttle on the handlebar, I saw a flashing red light. Anyone know what that was?

On a serious note.... I've always said they shoulda flashing light on the bikes with gps that blinks yellow when theres a caution on a certain part of the track and blinks red when there is a red cross flag at a section of the track. Theres far better technology out there so yiu cant tell me it would be hard to create. It can be done and issued with the Transponders. It can only help. And all you guys that will say its a distraction are right... but the riders will get used to seeing a light when there is a caution or red cross...

Theres a lot of diff ways it can be done. And I believe they should be trying something.

I don't know for sure, but that doesn't sound like a bad guess.

That is actually a great idea!!!

Light up cross pads, yellow for caution and red for stop?

Really guys? Lol

It would never be seen. Maybe an electric shock to the nuts would work...but that's a big maybe. It's pretty intense out there.

When he put a flashing light on the dash of his truck, people pulled over out of his way, so maybe he thought . . . .

It is a high tech laser defuser. It picks up incoming lasers and eliminates the harmful rays. So I hear.
