The thing is, it's a hard job because you have to be robotic and get it right the same way every time. It's one of those, "You know they did a great job if you never notice them" types of jobs, like being a pro sports referee or umpire.

Hat-off to derny drivers everywhere

I was a human derny for a keirin series one day at the track. I'll never do that again. Totally exhausting
Hahah, way too much pressure for me. I have my hands enough full just holding my line on warm-up laps.
