Sarge, Take your pen and paper and write down what I said on the website, then read it again. I was just asking for input from drivers that have been there and done that. I've raced at Texas Thunder in Killeen many times and there has been a few times that drivers have jumped the start in a double file, then the flagman puts them in a single file. I think the double filing of cars causes more wrecks and damage to cars than a single file. I know that the spectators come to see the show, but I am on the drivers side, start clean and drive clean, go home clean. The wrecks will take care of themselves. Thank you,
The Yankee
