Yes, infield pitting will be a PIA for the teams but about ANYTHING that gets the drivers and fans interacting more is a good thing IMO. Enclosed trailers, track designs, car designs and insurance requirements have all isolated the drivers increasingly from view of the fan. Getting the fans close to the drivers is one way to get new fans more interested in the sport and more importantly, get YOUNG fans interested and involved, something the sport of short track open wheel racing desperately needs to grow and prosper.
