In this case as they were about to initiate alan drastically fired the car rite leaving Gavin stuck to a barrier (not actualli hitting it but certainly greatly impeding his entry pretty much causing the spin)...
When looking back at previous entry speeds this particular run was pretty slow.. Making it look bad for Alan, Almost like he was sandbagging as they say.... Now before i get abuse im not saying alan was it just coulda seemed that way....
After talking to Alan after he said he was having problems getting grip off the line so maybe thats why he didn get up to the usual speed...
Now while the big delay occured where the judges were trying to get all the info and make a call i made an error... Having been told the track was clear another message came over the radio which i mistakingly thought said release the cars... So i released them on their 2nd run... This run was not counted as the judges were still deciding and as the cars finished they came to their conclussion...
Basically to run them again as they couldnt see and going by third party info they had to make a call....
I had no say in this, I just gave them the facts of what happened ... There was also a number of drivers at the 1st bend and their opinions were asked and of the 12 or so they were split 50-50 and who was wrong and rite so then the judges made their call....
All im doing here is giving the facts so now ye can draw ye'r own conclussions...
I think it was a hard call to make to be honest and dont really no whether twas rite r wrong...
