This is exactly the type of starting gate I've been talking about! It's about 1 minute into the video:

Max, it's a big pile up within the first 30 ft because cars 4-7 jump the gun and rearend the top qualifiers.

Yeah, that happen to me once. I was starting 4th in the a-main and I took off nice and easy so I would NOT run into 3rd place and up.....and low in behold, I got slammed from behind before the first turn...and of course there was no in marshall in sight to get me off the wall and I ended up in last place crossing the starting line with the 1st place truck on my tail already

I still made my way back to a 3rd place finish though, but I have to wonder what I could have done if I didnt have to make a come back from last place,
but hey.....thats racing, right?

Thats a good question, maybe you should move it?

Michowski · (#14 (**permalink**))

I like the Lemans style start... Sometimes your the dog.... Sometimes your the fire hydrant
