I know I don't post a lot here, but statements like the starting line is junk really bug me.
I know there are many starting line issues at various times at every track, but on a surface that is not ideal temperature (like during the dutch)it is difficult to make a consistent surface. Burnout tire temperature and other factors Like being in the exact perfect spot)are way more critical. The numbers many were running prove that the track must have been okay, good infact. It is as much of a variable by the crew chief, and guy lining up the drvier as it is the surface. Different compounds (traction) work different in different temperatures as well.
Way to easy to put it on the track surface in my opinion. Put some of the blaim of the crew and tire pressure and heat in the tire and placement as well guys.
