Thing is though, the reason there were delays on the saturday, were nothing to do with novices. It was a startline incident. Wasn't caused, nor involved any pink vests. Starting off and the first corner of any race will always be the most dangerous part of any part of racing. Shit can, and obviously does, go down from time to time. There would rarely be a good outcome to someone stalling on the grid? Doesn't really matter on the grade of the person that stalls?

I'd say this incident is more down to ARDC crowding the grid. I've only raced SMSP, Wakefield and PI. Don't even begin to claim to be anything other than complete amateur, but the grids at SMSP seem way more compact, scarier and more dangerous.

Horrible situation, really hoping all involved are going to be ok.
