<div>A lot of carnage that day.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Carl Jensen (RIP, RA Competition Guru at the time) always said the issue was these big, powerful V8s laying back and creating distance between themselves and the car in front of them. Many of the cars up front were still tight together, and when the track went green these guys in the back came storming up the hill, sometimes four wide.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After that Jensen insisted the entire grid maintain a 'car's length' between you and the guy in front of you. If you didn't, the group did not get a green flag.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can't remember for sure, but I think there was no passing until you went under the bridge as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>PS Later Carl Jensen re-thought the rule and told Race Groups that they would <b><u>ALWAYS</u></b> get a green flag, regardless of how orderly they were or weren't. I guess they decided that was safer.</div>

<div>They were not all TRIUMPHs, but I was on a grid of 110 entries one time at Road America. Road America is big, and it was not a problem. In fact all that traffic was a lot of fun in the practice and qualifying sessions. For the Feature Races on Sunday they split us into two groups (FAST and HALF FAST). I was gridded 4th in the HALF FAST group (I know, I know). The race was in the rain. I was in 1st place by Turn 3, and stayed there for almost the whole race. I did get passed when I got sideways just passed the kink on the last lap. But I caught the guy in the last turn, and won the race. </div>
