sometimes have 4 or 5 cars in your lane waiting to get to the start line.
Since very few use a push start everyone helps push the cars forward. I can
tell you this that pushing Keith's car is like pushing 2 of Bob Gribble's
Busch Grand National car. And the BGN car has a lot wide tire foot print
under it but probably 1000 lbs. lighter. Seems to me rolling resistance has
a lot to do no matter what the speed. I realize there are other factors
involved other than rolling resistance when moving a car from a dead stop.
