				talk about an unfair start for the 6 and 7 WTF!!!!
			
 
			
			- 
				Mayhem happened a few seconds after the start.  Looked like 7 tossed his head around broke and locked wheels with the 6.  Number 8 got taken out too. 
			
 
			
			- 
				The track announcer clearly said "Good Start" BEFORE they the incident.  Watch the replay
			
 
			
			- 
				It's when the timer starts.  That's "official"  
Watch the replay.  I counted at least 3 seconds after the car sped away from the field before the break.

				The answer is that there is a thing called a "Fair Start" pole.  What happens after that is up to the starter on whether or not to call a recall. The judges reviewed the race and didn't find anything wrong.

Correct.  
It's called "Untimed Start."  Maywood did it, opening the gate 40 yards before the start/finish line.  
Done to mitigate outside post disadvantage.
