It pretty much sums up my entire autox driving experience. Over driving and being a chicken. I've mostly tamed the over driving but I have been fighting against my survival instinct for a couple years now. But it's slowly wearing off...

....Over driving and being a chicken....

Seems like a contradiction in terms, but I was doing both simultaneously last weekend.

Marshall, I have to ask, how much difference did your data logger say there was between your time and Tom's time to the first cone, or speed difference at the starting lights? Just curious.

an attentive starter I see. Fast run to fast run, we were within 1mph at the first cone (~33mph). but i had some sucky starts. the worst difference was 6mph, worth .2 sec by the first turn.

Thanks for answering, sort of what I thought.

Best part of being starter was watching each drivers approach to the start. The routines varied quite a bit. Tom's almost reflected someone getting ready to pick a safe.
