Here is the video from the start of Race #1 on Saturday at Willow Springs.

One of the interesting aspects of this race is that the Green is thrown super early - I am just coming out of Turn 9 (and can't see the start tower) when we go Green and some of the cars behind me are still in the turn!

I make a nice pass to move up one position on the entry to Turn 2 and then defend into Turn 3.

Turn up the sound to hear the glorious symphony of 24 flat-six engines at full throttle and be sure to watch in full screen HD!

Tom, if you look closely you'll see we didn't go green until 37 secs into your video when Anders and I were almost at start finish. It was a very LATE flag. We just decided to get going way before then LOL. You know what they say - go with the cars not with the flag

What really pissed me off was that the one time I was able to get the jump on Anders, Gene was still able to pass us both from the second row by turn 1. Sigh.

Whaaaat? I was so far back that by the time I got to the start/finish, you guys were already in Turn 6.

So yes, it appears to be a case of a super late green flag where the entire field jumped early. As you said, I heard everyone else going, so I went too.

Thanks for the clarification!
