Hopefully it will be brought up at the drivers meeting this week.

I can't speak for other classes.....I don't know much about those cars. But I can speak for the vision you have in a winged mini-sprint like the ones that are run in the AMSA. You have about zero vision looking up out of a winged mini-sprint because the wing is in the way.

Under the current conditions you are expecting drivers back in the field, that are buckled in tight, to try to find the green flag on the flag stand while watching the car in front of them at the same time, while coming off the high banking of turn 4.

Not an easy thing to do.....especially when the field is checking up in front of them because the leaders are break checking to avoid jumping the start.
