According to Newgarden there was a 1/2 second to 1 second delay from the light going green to when he accelerated. I think Rossi saw green and went to try and gain a position , but you also have to watch the car's in front of you . That's my opinion anyway .

I see it the same way, but will admit I'm no expert on the restart rules..

(edit) Rules disputes like this give the fans of any sport something to debate about. There was a recent 3 days long pool matchup on a stream. Lots of posting board chatter over whether or not a shot by Shane Van Boening in one of the games was the double hit foul...kind of a moot point since Fedor Gorst won that rack. Sure doesn't keep we fans from debating tho.

The match was in 10 ball, race to 120. First player to win 120 games won $100K. That was Shane, 120-116. But the match was one to remember, very evenly matched between to of the top 5 worldwide...and only that one shot left for debate.
