There's light-array on a pole near turn one. It almost blends in with the crowd and if you're somewhat short-sighted you may not see it.

A light turns red ... then green and you go.

If you've never been there before - you don't know where to look. It's easy to get caught sleeping at the wheel your first time.

Okay, thanks Lou. Have I got the actual light circled in red?




And you'll notice the other guy is still checking his phone messages.

yes that's it...
as I said from the angle of the driver who's never been there before - when the lights are off while the cars from the last race are exiting the track, you may not know where to look if it's your first time there

it goes red then green pretty quickly once the track is clears and the current drivers are lined up

I know you all wanted yet another angle.

I was screaming at you in your second race, when after you had been on the inside lane for the whole race, you went so wide in turn four that you let that Mustang get the inside lane. It almost cost you!

As I said before ... it's because I take a horrible line...

I've been doing it for years apparently....


Here's my first 3.4 build from 1999...stock tires and suspension...probably a rear sway bar added.
