Re: INDY (still the best.... but....)
A tech official jumped on me about not being pulled far enough up. I told him I always check in to let them know I was nearby and ready and couldnt help it that you couldnt get past the cars with their asses stuck out in the road. I had already checked, my guy wasnt in the lanes yet, why add to the mess? If I had pulled past other cars, it would have created more congestion, then what? The bottleneck was way worse this year than it had been for some reason and caused some of the officials to be more "edgy" than normal.
As for the ice, if you leave any on the start line, dq them. You can shake some of it off before you hit the water box. The Emmons gang can show you the dry hop technique if needed! But, only allowing it before the lanes will REALLY cause some to be late for pairings.
My .02 cents, which aint worth squat....
