Whew... that was a gut check moment. I don't know if I could have stayed on the gas through that.

Nice pass on that Cayman.

I'm a little surprised you got a green flag and didn't get waved off with the way P4 was acting... not willing to get on line with P3. Must be a result of multiple starts and not being able to wave off...

All in all, very nice.

Exactly. We all see that the first group got a Green so we all know that they have to give us the Green also. There is a lot of gamesmanship (or bullcrap, depending on your point of view) that goes on during a start.

And as such, some drivers will take little more advantage of this than others; but if it was something blatantly unfair, they'd black flag the car after the first lap and basically give him a stop and go penalty.

I'll admit that I was puckered.
