Big apologies to Syd for my disastrous start
Relieved that you were able to recover and continue, and that not more cars were involved.
When the flag dropped I nailed the gas and engaged 1st gear. My Eagle moved forward for about 10-20 mtrs ( it felt like a good start ) and I was contemplating moving to my right to try a pass on Alain, in the car ahead, as he was a little slower off the line. Then the car just snapped to the left and headed for the armco at Mach II.
I thought that I had avoided collecting anyone else as my car actually vaulted the barrier and stranded me in no man's land with no way out...race over without even crossing the S/F line.
