Double file restarts or single file???

[rmrc]

This is your chance to let the track know what you would like to see in 2010.

as a fan I love the double file restarts, but completely understand why some of the drivers are opposed.

Obviously a race should be started in double file. I like seeing double file restarts but they tend to lead to alot of cautions. Cant vote I'm on the fence!

As long as everyone involved used their head double file is the way to go! Single file makes the guy in 10th place waaaaaay to far behind...... If the whiners in nascrap can do it then our top notch drivers at the shade should have no problem doing it.

the fans want to see a race and lots of action.. from the fan perspective double file is the way to go.. but from a dirver perspective with a slower. lower HP car.. if i work my butt off for a few laps to pass a few ppl and cation goes out cause someone up front spins or whatever.  chances are iam gonna lose a few spots on them restarts  cause were all tightened back up and ppl are driving crazy to gain a spot or 2.  i say start em 3 wide.  OSR has the room..

Double File !!!

Double file restarts will work well if everyone is allowed to pass once the leader fires. If we all have to pass the cone before passing, it will create alot of restart wrecks due to everyone not getting up to speed at exactly the same rate. Oakshade is plenty wide enough to handle everyone racing when the leader fires.

how many wrecks did it create the last time they tryed it?    if everyone fires when the leader dose u still will have ppl that arnt paying attention causing bottlenecks and potental wrecks.  the big problem with the cone double or single file is the jumping of the start.and i think thats where the line is not defined .  1 cone on the inside of the track leaves to much greay area interpritation  depending on where the offical is looking at the cone.  no passing b4 the cone is a good rule witch creates sumthing that is black and white.. if you break it theres consequences.  and the rule to define passing should be relooked at. at one time if i remeber your nose could be to the guys B-post and it still not be passing. now even if your at the rear quarter its called passing.  if anything there are more wrecks in turn 1 and 2 for the double file restarts. specailly when u get the green white checkerd scenairio going.

Double files have worked wonders at Crystal. In features the cars in 13th place on back are coming into turn three while the leaders have already taken the green flag. Lineups are quick, if you protest your spot they simply stop scoring you and your are told over the raceceiver. Mount Pleasant also went to them and the racing surface noticeably better.

I agree with Brian. In fact I would like to see the track add double file restarts for the Sportsman class also. That way if you don't have the big motor you can time the restart and maybe gain an advantage on the guy in front of you. I personally have had to restart back in the pack and it take a long time to get to the cone. I can still be on the back stretch when the leaders are taking the green. I say even if they don't go with double file allow every one to start racing when the leader fires.

 ;)I think double file is great for the fans, and for those drivers on restarts.  However I think this should be on trial basis.  Maybe 3 or 4 races to see how cautions run.  Do to the finicial status of most people being conservative I also believe most of your drivers/teams are doing the same thing so if we start wrecking alot of cars, Ouch.   I would hate to see the car count drop.

Double File all the way

double file,all green at the wave of the green is the fairest way to race.  I race bombers when I can afford to, but have lots of years doing it.  I think the flagman should wave the green as the "field" is in/coming out of ...turn 4.  the leader can't fire until the flag actually waves and must fire before the flagstand.  Once the leader fires...all bets are off.  As for all of you worried about wrecks...you should really study your competition better. I know I was/am  aware of what cars are fast and what cars aren't.  There are always exceptions, but all of you drivers watch each others races to check out the competition and the "groove", so just do your homework and be the driver that your fans think you are.   JMHO  Jeff Strock, 622Bomber
