Default Question for the H-C Boyz

At CMP they had the start tower give you guys a rather late green flag after your pace lap. I'm just wondering what your thoughts were about that, did you like that or not? I have to admit watching all of you guys bunched up coming down the straight anxiously awaiting that green to drop was quite a sight to behold (also made for a good photo op). Or do you like comin around that corner and just getting on it since the green is waving?

It was a pretty normal start, it's just that the front straight at CMP is pretty short.

You gotta wait til all, or almost all if the field is REALLY big, gets out onto the straight.

That was intentional. The longer you wait before throwing the green, the slower the cars are going when they get to turn 1. A late green is safer. That won't matter at Summit though because the front straight is so long. Even with a late green, you still are going over 100mph entering 1.

ahhh ok. I wasn't sure cause I was standing up in the tower and the NASA official said to the guy who was doing the flags to hold the green a little longer. Maybe he'd been dropping it too early earlier in the day.

True. Thought for Round 2, we will use standing starts for both races

H1 and H2 cars should still be seeing almost 100mph by turn 1. It's a long straight.
