Within the last 5. No free laps.

I sometimes wonder (for a second or two) if it is my place as a spectator (and very low level experienced USAC official, just watching) to bring stuff up to officials.
Answer:No

At a local level, no (except one year I provided a video that changed the State Championship). At a National level...still no.
It is about the riders.

At a pro/UCI level, I tend to think it is more about the spectators than the riders. If the officials know what happened and make a judgement, it is all them.
But if they are uninformed about facts and I, like so many spectators have a video - I'll share. Stuff like this is just interesting.
