Same BS happened in an AI qual race back in 2008 at mid Ohio. Aix took the green and immediately had a car off track in the second turn. Some genius throws the green for the LARGE AI field and as the first two rows are passing the corner station in the first turn they toss up a yellow. We see it and back down....then half the field passes us, even under double yellows through the next four turns. The eventual national champion even runs over David Donovan and throws himself into the outside wall. Field lines up for what probably should have been a waved off restart two by two and half the field gets DQ'd and I lose a second place finish. The eventual national champ who passed and had contact which showed me the exhaust under his car, started on the front row for the big race on Sunday and went on to win the championship. If there is one constant about a nasa nationals event is that the officiating/flagging is usually a giant shit show. Don't even get me started about AI in 2009.
