The self-start cars took forever
to get ready and since most of the photographers were up track
where the push start cars were suppose to go we don't have a
lot of static start fire-up shots.

After sitting in the cars for
over 50 minutes the push start cars finally got their call to
roll starting with Wayne King. The spacing of the cars being
sent down and parking them would prove to be inconsistent throughout.
This too hindered photo coverage.

Bob Hirsch in Marvin Schwartz
"Anaconda". Due to a stack up that resulted in his
push start procedure being thrown off and then procedural confusion
including a second attempt to fire, the engine hydrauliced.
In view of the substantial number
of cars that have been push started over the years, and the fact
there have been so few incidents like this is a testament to
the seriousness that everyone displays when participating. However,
much more attention to procedures will be taken in the future.
It has been suggested (and a
good suggestion it is) that starting next year there will be
some kind of marker or light on the push road and if you are
not fired by the time you get there - its over. Like other rules
that will be enforced, if one continues to try to fire after
that point the cars will be penalized.
The cast iron had to
go somewhere...
