I think it is time to re-think the rules on lapped traffic. So many 1/4 mile tracks and slow traffic is an issue.

Like what? How a driver works lapped traffic makes racing exciting. Felt bad for Dave, but happy for Tyler. Remember the blue flag does not mean pull over. it means hold your line. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with the lapped cars.

Agree with Brent; some of the most exciting racing happens when the leader is approaching traffic and he and his pursuers have to figure out multiple solutions to the same problem. Watching the best in the business lunge and parry while all Hell is breaking loose around them is what makes short track non wing dirt track racing so great, Sprints or Midgets.
Another thing is some of the "lappers" aren't tossers like me, but are equally as talented as the leaders, in as good equipment, trying to make up for some earlier misfortune or unfortunate starting position. At a place like Kokomo it's easy to get behind the 8-ball and find yourself scrambling to get caught back up.
