It is all about putting on a show...close competition! Look at the Indy 500... what excites any race fan is the 3 abreast perfectly aligned start. When's the last time we really saw that? Now at Indy they are "racing before they ever get to turn 4! So what, let the first lap be all about getting up to speed! Start at the flag stand! Someone stated "that driver's might crash at the green"...ol' Dizz Wilson would fire 'em for crashing his race car on the green flag start!
YOUR 100% RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applaud::greenflag:
