"Live" from Atlanta double points race 2013

I can see how quick the tree starts might effect a racer using the pro tree, but it shouldn't have any effect on a full tree ... unless you are leaving off the top bulb.

I'm pretty sure this is how autostart works:

Stage minimum: 0.6 secs (The time both cars are staged before autostart begins.)
Staged to Start: 1.1 secs (The time before the tree starts.)
Variance: .2 seconds

So from the time both cars are staged until the tree starts varies from 1.7 secs to 1.9 secs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Of course the starter can override autostart also.

If there is only supposed to be .2 variance, I think it would be pretty hard to tell a quick tree from a long tree.
