LOL, the track crew up there is still a wee bit inexperienced. Kind of opposite issues from Redding last week. The track at Redding is pretty crappy, but the guys working it seem to know what they are doing. Spokane is a great track, and they are even fixing the few things wrong (potholes in the pit roads, etc), but the track crew is still learning the ropes. I swear in the bracket classes the starter was trying to see how quickly he could start the tree as soon as both trucks had their stage beams on. That made it a bit hairy to be a slower truck trying to deep stage! On the other hand, on my 1st qualifying pass in Dirtymax he held the tree for a while once I was fully staged and spooled. Looking at the datalog it looks like I was sitting there for about 4 seconds fully spooled before launching, but I swear it seemed like a minute!
