VERY simplified...
RNY this fall the co-driver was on the ground and the car all balled up, its on a sharp corner not easy to see what is going on up ahead an ambulance on the course, the course is blocked red cross thrown & the competitors come to a screeching halt. The competitors move the car. We transited to the finish, a solution was worked out via radio by the time I ran up to the control as co-driver (we were 14th in line on the transit) & times where given The teams behind us allowed to go hot on one of the longest stages with spectators and everyone could deal with one of those things that happens in rally.

Now Sno*Drift, Competitor comes upon a balled up car, driver with blood on his face, its on a sharp corner not easy to see what is going on up ahead a truck on the course shortly thereafter, the course is blocked a red cross is not thrown & the competitors come to a screeching halt. The competitors move the car. The transit to the finish is not very polite and for 4 days there is a festival of fingerpointing that must have Steve Johnson smiling in his car on the way home everyday.
Whch was the better way of dealing with the problem?
