Stewards questioned Starter R Donnelly regarding the start and in particular the reason for not declaring a false start. Mr Donnelly advised he believed he had reached the start point and that as no driver had signalled a false start should be declared he activated the start. After hearing from drivers O Thornley (WINELIGHT) and B Butt (GENERAL JEN) and taking into account the proximity of the incident to the start point Stewards took the matter no further.
