How far back in the race do you make this "Judgement" call.

Personally I feel these sanctioning bodies and officials are walking a slippery slope in deciding the outcome of races by making "Judgement" calls.

I lived the quarter midget way of "judging" a race and sadly (at least in my mind) I see this creeping (in some cases stampeding) into the professional arena and just like Saturday night the same situation can be scene (depending on vantage points) in several different ways.

I guess more then just this one circumstance I wonder what the thoughts are concerning this trend as a whole by both the competitors, Officials and Fans.

So Tim, if I'm getting the gist of what you're trying to say, are you saying it's okay for anyone to bulldoze the leader on the last lap with no repercussions whatsoever?
