Alan,
The gate was open when the car left the starting line. It can clearly be seen on the video footage.

Read Jeff's link. Graham admitted mistake on the safety workers part, and explained the situation. What's the issue?

And Bobby must have talked to a high level ESPN guy, if that guy doesn't even know who owns the footage. LOL

Dickie,

I will come by and see you in Denver. I would like to see your video. If what you say is true I will come back on here and apologize.

I talked to Dickie in Denver. There is no footage that I know of that definitively shows the gate position when the car left the line. Dickie is sure it was open. I am sure it was not. I guess we will disagree on this point. Niether of us has any bad feelings toward the other. We just disagree.

Hope this is put to rest, thanks Alan. (highly doubt it)
