    We can certainly discuss it during the driver's meeting Saturday morning. If our group decides on a standing start and the other groups want a rolling green, they just need to make that adjustment on the out lap...

    THIS is one of the track issues for our class. And the multiple classes make it interesting unless CMC is the slowest and can grid last.

    You guys be safe and have fun. Oh, take lots of pictures.

    Cota is huge so multiple greens is easy including one or more rollig and one standing.

    I'm glad we did standing starts, it's one of the things I love about this series.

    The standing starts (and rolling for "wave 2") went extremely smooth from a spectator prospective as well as from race control.
    Great job guys!!

    So was it two flags, one for the GTS and Spec46s etc and after that the standing for AI CMC?

    2 flags, first was AI/CMC/SI standing start, then rolling for the rest of the field. 2 pace cars
