Yeah, this was pretty wierd.
After the little converstion at the starting line, about 5 crew guys walked down the right lane. It looked like 2 guys from Stanfield, 2 guys from Edwards and possibly Jim Yates. Walking down the track until just past half-track they stopped, 'scuffed' their feet and felt the track. They looked like they were concerned with the outside of the groove. One guy waved back to the starting line to send the Safety Safari but only the official that was standing near half track came up to them to radio back their concerns. The Safety Safari never came down. While this was going on they brought the PS bikes to the water boxes. When the PS crew guys got back to the line there was another conversation and then the bikes backed away from the starting line and then they ran Super Gas. Very strange to see a round of Sportsman before the PS semis and then to see the Nitro and PS finals separated by Sportman rounds.
