Oh I know, But how's it fair to local racer who think's he has a shot? I mean Gravel has a flat. and others so local racer is up in top ten, Good money, Here comes Gravel and others on new tires and local racer is back to sixteenth. Nevermind Local racer could never pull off a axle change. wing changes etc in alotted time.
It's also dangerous if you ask me. It was a CRA race early 90s Eric Gordon pitted next to us at Eldora. Feature, Gordon leading by a straightaway flips down the back straight. RED Flag as others had spun to miss etc. The tow Gordon back to pit. Dozen guys from his crew, Staabs crew and others get new front axel, bars, couple tires etc back on car before they got lineup and pushed off right. Well CRA had a rule, YOU FLIP YOU'RE DONE! good thing too, They black-flagged Gordon, He pulls in to pit and the whole steering box falls in his lap. That rule certainly prevented another caution and possibly prevented injury to Gordon and others.
