Boy am I glad this situation came up.This post is dedicated to the mental midget who's avatar shows him wearing a breathing mask.He can't help reminding me about the .444 light i had at Maple Grove last year.
In my case just the opposite of what happened today in Gainesville.Both of us had our prestage lights on.Mike put his stage light on and I started in.As soon as I lit my stage bulb I activate the two step.Well the tree started down almost immediately after the stage
bulb lit up.I wasn't on the two step till the second bulb was on and by the time I left i was .444.I wasn't very happy about it,but what can you do?I packed up and went home.
Strangely enough I don't ever remember a tree activating that soon.But it's an electronic
system and it's programed to activate in a certain time range.
It was odd to see the tree activate so late though.

So both racers wanted a rerun and it didn't happen. WWBD (what would Buster do)

Buster would have started the race. They didn't the autostart when Buster was there they had a starter that knew what he was doing.

Too bad in both situations.

This is really pretty simple. Look at the bottom of the timeslip. If it said "Both drivers staged at starter go", you know what happened.

You know it !
I keep all those time slips as a reminder of which starters don't know how to do their job.
