The "he had fantastic speed through the beam at the start of the lap" idea is good, At Sebring before the start finish line was moved to it present location it was on under the bridge, for qualifying, (Bruce Mcguinness told me the story) So when quali was going (before they put the wall on the exit of the last or tunnel turn) it was a field of grass, so a few drivers would do their flying lap and instead of slowing to cross the line under the bridge, they'd shoot right through and runoff into the field, not messing up the car enough so as it would be a problem and qualifying a good sec or more faster than doing the course proper.
