I saw that driver at Buckmore, he really didn't get any help to get going and I felt for him. Buckmore marshalling and clerking was very poor that weekend and Mike Mills was made aware.
Three drivers ended up not starting at S1 this weekend off the grid, two in heats and one in Final 2. Bearing in mind the massive expense in points, (as well as finances of course) I really think something needs looking at here. I don't pretend to have any answers as my karting knowledge could be fitted on the rear of a postage stamp but I can see when something is a problem and this clearly is.
I also think that if someone jumps the start repeatedly they should do as they do in PF, send them to the back. In the heat when two oiled up the same driver jumped the start twice. Apparently the third time was again suspect but they let it go anyway without the two stranded drivers. It should have been abandoned and rescheduled in my view.
