Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

very Simple to find out what happened look at the video and see what happened .

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

But Dan Mason did not get a rerun, correct?

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!

Couldn't the photographers simply stop the flash bulbs while cars are staged waiting for the tree to come down?

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

Considering how much they're trying to catch big wheelstands, I doubt that will happen.

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

My apoligies for jumping the gun. I was watching it live on ESPN3 and there was no audio and all I saw was a red light for Jimmy and then the car being pushed back...

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

looks like the shaft for the out of town guy. where would find footage of the staging motion and on to the redlit?.A cam flash on a sunny day found its way into the depths of the box where the photocell is hidden from such other lite sources? I think 2 out 3 would be the only fair thing to do. mikes the real man for doing a rerun!

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

Wow what good is the $50,000.00 electronics timing system is, if a simple flash of a camera can cause the red light to come on is a great question huh.?

I am wondering if this happened to any one running this race is another good question ?


Why did the car the car move forward I was watching the run on ESPN3

Re: Mike Cotten you are the MAN!
 

You can watch the replay on ESPN 3, it's at about 6 hours and 21 minutes. The red light on Defranks side lights on the second amber.
