Spring Mountain had Formula one style lights instead of corner workers and flags. There were cameras spread around the course and a few skilled workers on ATVs spread around the course with fire extinguishers.
The big events at major tracks have skilled SCCA corner workers, but most club events have minimum wage corner workers, occasionally smelling of booze.
The lights are LED and really easy to see. They eliminate the need for concrete stations for corner workers at dangerous spots we can hit. The ATVs can apparently get to problems as quick or quicker than the old way.
They are still working the bugs out of it, and it is dependant on a good guy watching the cameras, but I was very impressed.
