Interesting thread this has turned into. In '99 I ran a WoO show at Joliet. Our iron block motor didn't have a chance against the Kinser's, Swindell's, etc., but we went for the experience and the hopes that we might slip into the back of the A, and live a life-long dream of going 4-abreast.
Well, we were running a strong next-to-last in the B-main and were one lap down when Dollansky spun bringing out the caution and the checkers (a few laps short of the scheduled amount of laps, we assumed due to time constraints). It seemed strange to me and the guy who was running ahead of me, I'll call him Duke, that Dollansky got the last transfer spot. Duke was still running, the first guy one lap down, when Dollansky brought out the yellow/checkered. The Outlaw officials weren't inclined to spend any time explaining it to me and Duke, and we kind of figured it was a ******** kind of deal since his name was Dollansky, and we were Schmuck and Soran. So, we watched from the stands as Dollansky and the rest of the regulars rolled around the track 4-abreast, and proceeded to shred for 30 laps without us. We drank our beer, signed a few autographs (a real ego booster), loaded up and headed home (had a flat tire on the trailer to add insult to injury).
After giving it some thought though, since Dollandky was a lap ahead of us when the yellow checkered fell, we figured he would have gone to the back of the lead lap, and still been ahead of us. As should probably be the case in this fellows instance.
