I’m amazed that the starter is also a participant. Wouldn’t that give him a sizable advantage in the race, since only HE knows when the start will be? But to what extent is his momentum slowed by whatever recoil his extended arm will absorb from the starter’s pistol? Plus, the poor guy loses his hat in the process. He’s probably going to need that!
