That was a solo "bye run" Kirk. My mentor JP, advised that I do not red light, or break out (go faster than my posted time of 11.89). So, I went through the gears and stood on the brakes at the line just to be safe.
I advised Mike to play it safe since I was unsure what the rules of the event were. I would've certainly hated to see him DQ himself from the eliminations over a technicality on a bye run.
