Single file restarts are fine, but they do need to put lap cars to the tail. Some claim the leader earned those lap cars; but under green they were still in traffic. Now you are giving them clean air/track and cars as a buffer. That's too much of an advantage.
Double file helps create passing by the obvious bunching everyone up. But I'm fine with either if lappers go to the tail. But wing cars single file restarts turns the front 5 or more spots into a parade until they find traffic.. usually.

I don't see what the double file restarts and the invert has anything to do with each other. Ever seen USAC heats, the fast guy starts sixth. Sometimes they don't transfer. Sometimes they win. The latter is fun to watch and they pick em off one or two at a time.
You can like what you like and I can what I do. No need for name calling.
I agree on the wing situation as it takes long green flag racing for everyone to get equal air and passing to start happening on most tracks. I don't really like lappers mixed with the leaders and I think some do not put em back if a yellow falls in the final five laps.
However last years Sprint Week at Haubstadt proved that to be hard to judge as a lapper got back on the lead lap by passing the leader by running above the cushion. Darland was running third for fourth and seen that move. tried it and WON.
