Couldn't the photographers simply stop the flash bulbs while cars are staged waiting for the tree to come down?

Considering how much they're trying to catch big wheelstands, I doubt that will happen.

My apoligies for jumping the gun. I was watching it live on ESPN3 and there was no audio and all I saw was a red light for Jimmy and then the car being pushed back...

looks like the shaft for the out of town guy. where would find footage of the staging motion and on to the redlit?.A cam flash on a sunny day found its way into the depths of the box where the photocell is hidden from such other lite sources? I think 2 out 3 would be the only fair thing to do. mikes the real man for doing a rerun!

Wow what good is the $50,000.00 electronics timing system is, if a simple flash of a camera can cause the red light to come on is a great question huh.?

I am wondering if this happened to any one running this race is another good question ?

Why did the car the car move forward I was watching the run on ESPN3
