That's correct. Yesterday, Dan offered me ET rather than off the line with the tree and I took it. That means my risk of blowing the start goes away. Whew.

Tom, if the track is being rented, surely the tree is part of the fee for the starting procedure, why ET only, makes no sense ? The interest factor went from 100 to 0.

I'm not a drag racing pro by any means but if its just ET then why bother racing side by side? Couldn't you each just race in your home city and post the times? Of course, there would have to be an unbiased witness at each place.

Unfortunately I think Dan suffered much more risk in this case. That Kirkham will be much, much harder to launch than the Italia. The more you make it a horse power to weight issue, the more the scales are tipped towards the Kirkham, IMHO.

Tell me
So, if you're not using the tree, how are you going to start:
1. Certified mail
2. Courier pigeon
3. Mental telepathy
4. Smoke signal from the papal residence
5. Arm drop
