The AMA needs to make a rule stating that the start straight cannot narrow until at least 3/4 the length to the first turn and that can only happen on the outside of the start straight. 
Having the gate narrow on the inside always causes problems that don't need to happen. The start is dangerous already we don’t need to make it worse.

That start is horrible. The inside 2 gates are basically straight to the right into the corner. A freaking national track that is a joke.

They've been doing this for decades. Funnel them down before speeds are faster.

Only way to improve it is to have fewer gates. 40 riders reaching the first turn at the same time is ridiculous. Or control start devices and grates.
