While I feel the system. (Running odd or even) can be played when a track is better on top or bottom. That wasn't my big gripe with it.

Its the bunching of the field and the subsequent lap or two after the restart where 15 cars are bunched up in 100ft vs 150ft. I wouldn't say Westerfelds wreck was caused by this, It almost looked like his throttle stuck and he ran over the back of Gaines or Oneil, can't remember which. But the rest were due to contact caused by being bunched up and trying to sort out.

This is my view, I just think it causes a lot more cautions and more damage. I could be totally wrong, I'll leave that to the racers to decide.

As far as the system, Id rather watch the pass made on open track mono-e-mono than coming out ahead after the restart because their lane was better.
