Answer: A crappy start.....and most likely a restart.

That being said....I am done discussing this. If people can't see the problems this is causing then I am not sure what I can say to convince them. Seems to me some folks are so defensive about it they don't even want to consider another point of view....no matter where it comes from.

I will be instructing my driver to watch the car in front of him, ignore the flagman, hang back about 2 to 3 feet and go when the car in front of him goes. If it holds up the field behind him...so be it.
Don't take anything the wrong way, we want good clean starts, what you just said is what you need to do, or better yet start on the pole. i am listening to you and to be truthful, if you have concearns you should of contacted me, and we could discuss the issue you are having. A message board is not the place.
