Tristan,

I have a couple of questions. First, weren't you 5 spots in front of me on the grid? Which brings me to WTF were you thinking? Did you forget about the kink?

Watching this $#!& happen from P24, all I could think was "dear god.... i've found myself in the middle of a European Touring car race!"

The race cannot be won on the first lap, but it sure can be lost!

How did the car coming by on the inside have so much speed on the rest of the field only a second or two after the green?????????

The beginning grass part I may have done but it needed to get settled down way before you did. Ballsey move; glad no one got hurt and sounds like you learned from it. Gesh, especially with such a nice new car. More importantly other peoples' cars.

Dave- Your right, the grass was ok in some minds, but after that you should have settled down long before it becomes a video game... your playing with a lot more than just your car and your life. I hope you learned your lesson and the video maybe taught others a lesson also.

Two questions:

1) How did you get such a jump? you had to jump the start right?

2) What penalties did the stewards give you after the protests came pourig in?

I just assumed the jump was the result of the pack expanding and contracting (like an acordian) as it formed up, and he ended up wide open trying to keep/catch up when the green flew. Not that uncommon to happen in a large field. Though I wish starters would take a harder line on this and insist on proper formations in more than the first few rows with our multi class groups.

The timing of the jump...I assure you... was plain dumb luck. I did it successfully on the outside the day before. I noticed that in most of the races that I watched they would throw the green when the field was 1/2 way down the wall so I just backed off and hammered it in 3rd after hog pen. Right as I got up on the cars in front of me the green went and I was already into 4th. Got the timing right at the start but I see how dangerous it was now compared to having patience and using race craft. Glad that everyone is okay and I did learn my lesson...
