Actually, what happened was all a misunderstanding. I thought the starter said "alright, go", so I went. I got down to where the worker was on course, stopped as I was supposed to (I ain't gonna endanger nobody), then continued on the course to get some heat in my tires. They called me back in for a rerun, the one guy (the one who was swearing at the end) came up, said I left early. I said I thought the starter said go, he and grid worker were discussing it with me, grid said "well, we need to get cars moving" so I said "ok, I'll eat the run then" and drove back to grid.
What happened in grid was a little weird, he came over like he was going to talk, I said "its ok man, I'll eat the run. I misheard the starter." and he went off.
Josh, it may have looked like I took it upon myself to start, but you know me. I wouldn't do that shit if I heard him say "hold up" or "there's a worker on the course." All I can say in my defense is I thought he said go.
That's it. Think what you want.
