i know, but you dont want to head into the track and some idiot walks right in front of you... get my drift drifter.. the last event some dick head had a stroller with a baby, he hears the cars coming back he turns around and moves the stroller right into the track.. with 100 foot more, there is no way us screaming on the bull horn will be heard from the starting line... 50ft more should be good enough trust me...
