Watkins Glen July Sprints from this past weekend.

In Saturday's Group 2 qualifying race, I was black flagged for supposedly jumping the start. I was brought in for a stop and go. This effectively put me in last place in the qualifying race.

The camera car (which definitely jumped) is directly behind me. I am the black Miata in front of him.

I protested the black flag after the race. The stewards upheld the protest and I got my $25 back. Either way it meant that I was starting at the back of the grid in Sunday's race.

In my opinion, stewards should wait until after the race to review evidence and apply the appropriate penalty.

What do you guys think?
