Just how many ??

[ingmant]

Question,
Has anyone any ider, or are there rules on just how many crew members, helpers, pushers, tire cleaner, door openers, are allowed down on the start line with there cars ?.
I know in the old days we used to have a 3 guys to push back With 1 more on the start line ( Yes before the days of reversers )Now the seem to be no limit . Also noticed just how many people manage to gather around the start line anyway ! !

Pro classes is 6, and has been tightened up this year,at Pod anyway, any more and they get kicked out, think you might be refering to a Mr Erbacher who seemed to have a guest and visitor section down there last year, along with a few others.

This was indeed an unusual sight for a FIA/UEM event,
even at smaller dragraces that I work for or attend
there are far less folks allowed in the busy prestart area.
