Anyone else miss their Spring Hill Start times???

Just Curious if anyone thought the Spring HIll Race started off early in their respective Categories. I know at least 6-9 P,1,2 racers that were caught out and as a result and chased for a lap to no avail! grrr
Definitely i(we) must take a good bit of responsibility to get to the start line earlier....but with this particular event, they should have at least a bull horn at the far parking lot announcing Race Start Times for the folks who are trying to stay dry as long as possible!
This happen to anyone else?

I missed my start, but that's because i stayed at the hotel and hit the snooze when i saw the downpour.
I was in the 2nd race (35+ 1/2/3) and we started about 2 minutes after our scheduled start time (8:10). I was at the start about 3 min early & stood under the reg tent.
Before I went to the line, as I waited for the start in my car (in the parking area that was about 400M from the start), I was surprised how many P/1/2 guys I saw still in the parking lot after their scheduled start time of 8:00. I saw several P/1/2 guys leaving the parking lot between 8:00 and 8:05.
Due to the conditions though, there were actually several racers who showed up, picked up their number, even pinned it on, but then didn't go to the start & just went home.

I was shivering in the reg tents waiting for my 9:10am start time. Leading up to my start there were a couple of other fields that went off and somebody was using a bullhorn to call them out from under any protective shelter and got them on the road.
I do remember driving to reg and seeing the split P/1/2 field go by. I was a little perplexed that something would have caused a split so early in the race. Sorry to hear about your situation.
