No, I honestly agree with DM this time. In the 70s they always stopped at the flagstand and got a photo with the flag, Didn't matter if it was a heat, Semi or feature and the victory lap was celebrated.

It also gave the crowd a chance to applaud the good work of the driver/team.

How come there have been all sorts of TIME SAVING moves in racing and we keep getting home later and later? Qualifying, Dash's, D,C mains? All gone and we still leave 11:30 I remember three classes with all those things and being outta there well before that.

Chuck, not bashing the racing we have but the separation between the racing and the fans is very aparent.
