My vote is good save and not so good on the recovery.

Personally, I always wait for the corner worker to tell me to go.
Tough decision either way. Even if he was signaled by the corner worker, the corner worker's view up track was very limited.

Where he was, he could have been hit either way.

To all you naysayers - We had an assortment of the greatest drivers of all time, living and dead, run this on our simulator. From Fangio and Clark to Maldonado and Danica Patrick, none were able to duplicate what Mike James was able to pull off here. In fact, not only did all of them crash, but most also took out the entire field in a flaming wreck.
Mike "Jimmy" James is a gifted driver. I hope he pilots the next plane I am on.
