I'm not buying this. Yes, there was a perfect storm. A perfect storm within their software that allows a glitch like this to happen.

It's clear from the frames I posted in the other thread that there was a flash, but it clearly came AFTER the red light came on.

If there was another flash it should be easy to see from one of the other video cameras ESPN had at the race. They had at least four cameras on the starting line. One in front of the tree, two hand helds on the starting line and one on a scissor lift. They also had a camera at the 330' mark.

In the video from the camera above it should be easy to see if there was another flash right before the red light came on, but I don't think there was and they will probably never show it to you. It's much easier just to blame the photographers.

Good luck this weekend, Mike. Go get in the final again.


Mike, I agree with Toby, and I also agree with all the other guys who have commented that you are a class act! But we already knew that. My best to you and Paula. Jim

Mike, do not know you, nevertheless, you showed a lot of poise and composure on this matter and I applaud you for showing a conduct considered fitting to few under the circumstances.

Mike,

I have to tell You that you have shown unbelievable Character and humility in these circumstances. Most people including me would have an extremely hard time with this, so I applaud You. Good luck to You and Paula.

Mr. Cotten:
You truly are a gentleman and a true sportsman. Thast would be a tough thing to overcome, but you did it with the dignity and class that it would require.The unanimous support you were shown on this post attests to that. I hope to walk up and meet you on your next trip west. You sure showed it to them rowing through the rounds like you did.We were there all 4 days running my Chevelle wagon, and you put up an excellent race. Thanks for being such an excellent sport about all this!
