That's the only reason I even sent it to them, I just wanted to make them aware so they could ensure the situation was avoided in the future. Instead the response I got from the track was:
"I was there and watched the run. The car stopped suddenly on the track .At that point the tree was already activated. This is why we ask racers if you have an issue to pull to the side of the trap so we can hold cars up. I’m sure if you ever been to another race track and look down track the tree has always been activated before the track is clear with cars are rolling off the top end "
I didn't bother replying, but it makes me hesitant to go back there for a divisional this year.
