And yes, radio chatter is different based on the race track and the person in control. But even having had a number of nationally licensed controllers in the tower, they all hate one thing, radio chatter. Get on, say your thing, and get off. And if its not about the race or session at hand, wait.

And maybe the GCR or whatever else you plan on using doesn't have a set guideline about when a car is clear, how can you call it clear if its still in your zone of responsibility?

And the reason I thought he was about the key the mic, is that on most double earmuff headsets, the mic button is the right ear, which is where his hand goes in the last pic.

And the fact that in the first pic the corner worker shows up in, his hand is not there, but in the last it is, makes me wonder what he is calling into control for. Perhaps there is something wrong with the car (pics don't show anything), perhaps another corner thought there was and this guy is saying its all clear. It definitely doesn't look like he is changing his flag status which would be a reason to call in.

I wasn't really critical (again outside of last car because that is a huge pet peeve of mine). Just wondering why he was reaching for the mic button.

I find it kind of funny | I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying | Are the best I've ever had
