Gosh - that sounds like I don't like precision.  Let me add to that.  I have
found in Atlanta, that in order to get a car out every 15-20 seconds, a
straight start works better.  If it takes 15 seconds to set your car where
you want it on the line, then the event is slowed.  I guess from a drivers
perspective, I'm indifferent.  As a person helping to run the autox,
anything that slows it down is the enemy.
