Speaking of a bad start, did anyone notice Jeremy Martins start in his heat race? It looked like maybe he got to close to the gate and was pushing his bike back when it dropped causing a horrible start.

I wasn't paying attention.

I intentionally let em go, so I'll have someone to pass.

I had a flat

I forgot where the throttle was.

AC brought this up on pulp. If I remember correctly, AC jumped a little early and had to bring his bike back, and said it probably caused Martin to jump early too. He said he hoped Martin didn't think he did it on purpose.

This start was terrible but ended good with an overall for the day. Great shot of Vital member Highsider #952. Skip to 1. min for the start.
Enjoyed the video, KR, except where I spun-out right in front of you, before lap one was over.Laughing

My bad start excuse is at Winterset years ago, I was reading the sponsor banners along the start fence.
