I am curious what other folks think of the flagman starting the races at Lawrenceburg rather than the driver on the pole getting on the gas at a pre-determined location coming out of turn 4.

The starts have not been very good. It is hard for drivers at the rear of the field to see the flagman coming out of turn 4. Drivers at the back are running into cars in front of them because they are looking at the flagman rather than the car in front of them. There has also been inconsistency as to when the green flag is being thrown.

There have been numerous restarts because cars in the front row are checking up so they don't jump the start......cars in the second row are either running into them or passing them (jumping the start).

We have only raced there twice with the AMSA so we don't have a whole lot of experience, but from what I have witnessed it would be better on the drivers and the cars if they stuck a cone out there and let the pole sitter start the race when he gets to the cone.
