I think there is a much stronger argument for push starts than ramps.(IMHO) Last years M.S.S.S dq'd 75% of the field on the 88 cone 6' straight Walking up the course w/ Gilmour we spoke of next year making it a 6.5' o.c, as even the racers that didn't dq were pumping the course for the 1st 1/3 then ...

Rest assured John..M.S.S.S is still planning on a push start! But with a more liberal "unlimited" 30' or so run-in frame! I think the time and $ spent on setting up ramps detracts from the time and pleasure of a good race!
