I wish someone would do one around here, would need to be a track with no fence, and a good infield. lol

I saw one almost done at Hartford almost 10 years ago but the promotor didn't want to. Unfortunate.

For once we agree. Lapped cars make the races better for fans, and fair for the drivers. If the leader just passed two cars with a great move at one end of the track, and put two lapped cars inbetween him and 2nd place, he should be awarded those two cars to stay between him and 2nd place, as he passed them, and the 2nd place car did not. How is that even an argument? This is a stupid rule, that just is inline with the rest of the dumbass things USAC has done over the last 10 years.
