One heck of a race in our own Lightning Track in New Jersey Motorsport Park

I think there is some Ferrari challenge going on soon, or something like that?

The decision is based on the accident. If there was track blockage, or the accident clean up was very dangerous (ie, close to the track), then maybe a full course caution is put out. Based on the video showing a full lap, and not noticing the accident, it looks like a good call.

FYI, the e-crew and corner workers are trained to do this as well (it is actually kind of an adreline rush for them as well; I have been a course worker for 15 years.)
