I once read a quote by the late, great Smokey Yunick who said Silver Crown Championship Cars are the last true racecar in America. Line 'em up and race 100 miles and see whose the fastest without pit stops or adjustments being a factor. I tend to agree with Smokey, but the 51/49 concept helped make a couple of the dirt mile Silver Crown races pretty exciting during it's short implementation.
I have mixed feelings on the double file restarts. I like the idea of bunching up the field a bit but I worry somewhat about the safety factor. I know, I know, nobody forces the guys to race these things.
Individual qualifying should be part of a Silver Crown race agenda. Period. One lap is better than group.
LONG LIVE THE SILVER CROWN DIVISION. I love these cars as much as the 1 mile dirt tracks that they race on!
