Let's face it, we all hold our breath getting through the first corner at the start of a feature, knowing that the possibility of complications are magnified, why would you want to add a that again. And why on earth would you apply anything the outlaws do to non wing racing. I love both, but most spots are gained and lost on starts with those guys. Their heat races usually are snooze fest after the first lap. I agree with someone else who said that if the leader had to pass a lapped under green, the next guy should to. For my money, double file has no place in short track racing!

Love em. These drivers are Professionals. Yes , you get that first lap adrenaline rush at every restart unless they fail, and then they go back to single file restart. I think the untrained casual fans love it also. And I've seen plenty of single file restarts go way bad with failed, unrealistic slider attempts. If you are good, fast, and on the button and up front , guess what, you should not have any issues. I listen to lots of driver interviews and opinions, etc. and I have heard very few complaints with this procedure. Drivers will have their complaints about anything when it does not go their way. Human nature. Unless someone can produce stats that show a huge increase in cautions under this restart procedure, I really hope it continues. Love it!

You're certainly in titled to your opinion, as we all are, I only question in MSCS, how many are professional racers?

They draw quite the crossover drivers from the USAC ranks, so I would say quite a few. I personally don't consider any of them amateurs.

As a long time fan I think the double-file restarts while sending the lapped cars to the rear is a needed breath of fresh air.
