Hawaii...Starting bug

        Any one know why sometimes my car won't start at the green
flag or starts about 2 sec. late.  This causes a lot of problems for
the cars behind and just gets me a little pissed off to.  Any idea's
would be greatly welcomed.

It happens to me too.  Usually about 3-4 times a week.  I can't stand it.
 Everyone thinks you're not paying attention, but that's not the case.

There is a bug in the mechanism that Hawaii uses for sending flags and
server messages "Stay Behind", "Pass", "One Lap Until Green" to the client
machines. Sometimes the queue gets bogged down and you won't see any of
these messages for seconds or even minutes at a time. Papyrus is working on
tracking it down, but no ETA as to a fix yet. This one has been around for
a long time.
