Phil,

I have been thinking about posting something on this topic for awhile now but did not out of respect to Dave and crew because my opinion is negative. This rule seems to be causing more problems than anything. Everyone we talk to at the races doesn't like the rule and the drivers I talk too all say they don't like it and can't watch the cars in front of them and the flagman. It seems to me that it causes more cautions than you would normally have if you let the polesitter start the race. A few weeks ago I was totally baffled at the start of an AMSA race when a good start got yellow flagged and then the next start a car from the third row jumped the start and was in the lead by the time they made it too the flagstand but no yellow came out. Just my opinion but things were better off when the polesitter started the race. Also curious to see what others think.

Later,

Shane
