Congrats to David Spillman for a 1st in the Pro-IT Friday night.

I saw something that I have never seen before on the start. The starter shook her head very deliberately left to right as the front row was coming through 12. Then after shaking her head 4-5 times, she threw the green!?!?!?!?! David was caught off gaurd by that, and lost two positions by the top of the hill. He did a great job of climbing back to the top, 2nd overall and first in class. Excellent drive on his part, but too bad he had to do it. In my book, and the one called GCR, I think that you either start the race or wave it off. I wasn't on the start stand, so I can't speak to what she saw. Probably made perfect sense to call it as she did from where she was. But from my arm chair.....
