Re: Double file restarts
 

What about the cone restarts, altho I seemed to be the one stuck behind the one with the bad cold, sneezing, and coughing, sometimes it was a good way on restarts, always hated restarts, either way, hard, and maybe not possible, to get that position back, you get a rhythm going, and sometimes it slips away from you. Not good either way. Oh well, some ya lose, some ya win, sometimes its a swing and a miss!

This just isn't true... there are still 14 cars ahead of you and one beside you. You are just half the distance closer to the leader.

I'm fine if folks don't like them; but let's not tell tales.

Gimmick, No.
Just one of many styles of restart procedures, but not a gimmick.

MSCS used the double file restarts in 2017 and it gave us some incredible finishes. I believe they consulted with the drivers and decided it was a safety concern and the driver’s overall didn’t like it.

"hillbillification".... good one!
Kind of like when you add the "tucky" to "Pennsyl"? :3:

If I hadn't been "hillbillificated" when my family moved from NYC to Shenandoah Valley of Virginny in 1960, I never would have discovered dirt track racing! :23:

As an owner of my own equipment, I do not like them and would agree that I see double file restarts as a safety concern.

Respectfully disagree. Think of it this way. You are standing 16th in a single file ticket line and now the line is made double file. Yes there are still the same number of people ahead of you, however you have now advanced half the distance you were previously behind.

Re: Double file restarts
 

Truly funny comment, but on further thought, not quite sure why you equate double file restarts with "hillbillification". Feel free to explain, you goldang flatlander (or would that be "highfalutin' Kokomo city slicker"?) :5:
I don't really have strong opinion either way, me....
