Of course ,we were going to wait until 1 minute of, and then ease down towards the gate.
At about 6 minutes of, a whole group of racers emerged from the truck stop road, which is directly across from the gate. They had blocked the main road completely, and also the traffic coming down off the exit ramp! Somebody decided to let them in, so we proceeded northbound on the main road, and formed a line on it, not wanting to be pushed back any farther in the numbering sequence. I think we ended up about 30-40 something.
Anyway, first of all everybody knows exactly what time it is from their cell phones.
If I were running things, those guys who blocked the road early, would be rewarded with a warning, and a 100 number card.
Secondly ..It just shows what a sad and sorry thing this early stacking thing has become....in my (firsthand) opinion, of course.

This has happened at every race so far , this does not have to happened .there is a safe ,orderly way to stack at every track but for some reason The Decision makers do not want early, reasonable, orderly and safe stacking for their customers before the race ,this is my point in my posts.
