An idiot killed my baby. Need advice.

Once at the track , I was in the burnout box ( left lane ) waiting for the guy to motion me in. Did my burnout . He motioned me to stage, I did. lightsn came down and I'm off. Blowing through the traps at 130 and heres some NOVA limping down the wall in my lane getting ready to take the first turn off. Needless to say I was pissed at the guy working the tree.
