If they both sit in pre stage is the the tree “armed” as you say or does it take one car to go in and fully stage to start the count?
This is another good example of having no one near the starting line, even to set wheelie bars or help stage the car. Those street outlaw guys are an accident waiting to happen.
Yes, that's true . Nothing will happen until one is staged.
I would say the starter's attention was focused on the left lane.
He wouldn't have time to see whether the right was fully staged. He could have been, for all he knew .Then things could happen real fast.
It does look like the guy was thrown to the ground. He could have lost balance too.
Hard to say...
Still don't see many good options
