Start times, take 3
After last week's discussion of race start times (in comments here; a full post on it here), I wanted to share this e-mail I got from Dustin at 10:25 a.m. Sunday:
"Saturday, they listed the green flag time for the Brickyard race at 2:40 p.m. We just have now been given a revised sked that lists the starting time as 2:50 p.m."
Sigh.
We'll continue to put starting times in the paper. I'll just have to remember to put a big fat asterisk by them. And there's no telling what ABC/ESPN will do next year.
If there's anyone local reading this, I'd like to know if you saw an extra emphasis on the start times in the paper. Did it work for you?

John,
I referenced the race start time in your paper and turned it on just when Mrs. George Hulman (I think) gave that famous announcement.
It worked for me.
