[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 187770, member: 1650"] I was out of mx before they had gates. One of the things they used to do at flattrack was to put you in the back row if you started early. If they had to flag the start and bring the pack back they would also turn you around backwards. I was pretty well known for trying the starter, so I ended up being turned around a lot. I may be able to do a rh donut better than anyone here. Anyway. At a short track at the cow palace in San francisco I neglected to get the new clutch cable into its anchor on a borrowed Bultaco and it ended up coming loose as I was rolling off on a rev up. Set up to go left, I did a half a donut into the wall before the flag. I guess running into the back of another racer (one who was well known for fantastic starts) when I was put in the back for leaving too soon could be the second dumbest. If you asked the guy I hit(al nystrom) he might tell you that being in neutral at a start in salinas was the dumbest thing he ever did. [/QUOTE]
