Will we have a grid start on the oval?
Is there a grid start on the oval?
Yes, there will be a grid start.
As much as rolling start makes SO much more sense on an oval... Especially in low power cars, so you start already at some speed...
Last year in our
CUBES @ OVALS event, that's the only problem we had was DURING the rolling start.
We had a
crash during the countdown in one race at Indy.
This, as I saw in the replay, happened DURING the countdown:
Since
poofs of smoke don't appear in the rear view mirror, I never saw this:
If it was a normal "lag start" - I would've called an ABORT, and restarted the race. But because I was already rolling away, I wasn't even aware of what actually happened.
A lag during a rolling start countdown in the Cosmos at the small Motegi oval, would be particularly bad, because I will likely be starting on pole because of coming in last in the first race.
Which means if we did a rolling start, the host (me) would likely be halfway around the track away from the back if a lag during the countdown happened in the back...
That all said, it's not too too bad from grid start on the oval in the Cosmo. The starting grid is not so tilted at Motegi as at Daytona, where often cars like the Cosmo would slip & slide a great deal at the start.
(It must've been from a prize ticket... because I thought it must be from the OCD.)
