gone with the win Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 With the large car counts and the way IMCA line up are done (the points leaders starts near 12th position) I would like to see what all the racer think of a double file restarts where the leader is by himself and everyone else 2 wide. Does anyone else like this way for restarts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd9 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 i like that but too many guys play dumb when lining up!sportmods need to go to raceivers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyT66 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Its done at Texas Thunder,and it does make for a better show for the fans...But they sure tear up some equipment from Brake checkers....Frank t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckborlace Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 its the best way to restart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprintsrule Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Double file restarts suck. Lots of equipment gets torn up. A guy that works hard to pass somebody gets lined up in a bad lane and all of a sudden has to repass a bunch of cars. Towards the end of a race it takes good competitive races and eliminates a guy because of the lane they restarted in. Too much luck involved. I love starting the fast cars in the back but if you are already starting the faster cars in the back it is not fair to penalize them again. I-37 is doing a great job and increasing car counts. Why add a gimic that will tear up cars? If it ain't broke don't fix it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd9 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 how about raceceivers then? would speed the show up and get the fans a full show before they get frustrated and leave before all the racing is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 how about raceceivers then? would speed the show up and get the fans a full show before they get frustrated and leave before all the racing is done! +1 for this one. Getting the fans in and out in a timely fashion while putting on the best show possible is a definite plus. The track has been doing really good and I'm sure this option has been or is being looked into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent idea. I have seen them speed up shows at lots of tracks. One way communication with the driver and no arguing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOTChassis Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 it isnt broke...but why not make it better? with 15+ cars and a 20 lap race, double file restarts makes the most sense. lead in front, 2nd picks inside or out, the rest follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SassyCassie14 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Don't know if my 2 cents is good or not, but my opinion... Yah it would be great for the fans BUT, you also have to look at it as, can the drivers afford to fix their cars every week, cause they got stuck behind some tree squirrel and got torn up. Granted the fans would like it, but with the economy the way it is, money is tight, after awhile, drivers will either, not race due to funds, or race somewhere else where they don't get torn up as often. If the drivers leave or stop racing, that means less cars....... which means, no good racing, which means no fans after awhile. So my vote, why change it. Leave it the way it is, unless radios come into play. just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckborlace Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 well i see more cars torn up with single file starts my self and since we do have a dog in the fight i vote double file restarts i like the racecivers also and both togather would help speed up the shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
