We will go back to the previous lap for line up positions. All karts bringing out the yellow or red flag will go to the rear of the lineup. The race director reserves the right to make a judgement call in all yellow or red flag conditions. The official yellow is the yellow light and the flagmens yellow flag, not the infield workers. They are there to warn you of situations on the track. The caution flag will not be thrown unless a dangerous situation is created.
