I respect your right to your opinion, flawed as it might be. But one last thought: If I am gridded ahead of you (and the lap chart indicates such) and I am put in a position to have to "regain my position" for the start (which according to you I'm not allowed to do) then you must have passed me on the pace lap at some point in which case you are as guilty as I in "jumping the start."

The thing is moot. We all know that during a pace lap the left and right lines shift up and down until we form up even before the flag. I think Saturday we just didn't get a chance to keep our lines together and there was no attempt by anyone to "jump." At least I know I had no desire to "trick" anybody: I just wanted to get to the race.

I look forward to racing you again when both our cars are healthy.
Admin , thanks for your indulgence.
