Not a national champion, not (yet) a majors racer....didn't even stay at Holiday Inn Express last night, but....have raced in the Northeast in IT (usually at the pointy end of the field) for 26 years. The number of times I've had "a race ruined" in the first lap is exactly one. Have seen others who seem to have a lot of incidents in the first lap, and my observation is that it's usually "someone else's fault". My thought is driver error, call it situational unawareness, red mist, tunnel vision or whatever, but if you're frequently involved in first lap incidents, maybe should look inside your own helmet.
This controversy is making a Face Book appearance thanks to some writer chick from the Northeast....maybe a coincidence that we share a last name.
Oh, the start of the HP race was not very crowded by IT standards....shoulda been fairly easy to keep track of the other drivers and provided room.
