Plain and simple...I've seen others mention this and I will too. If the leader has to get passed the lap car, EVERYONE else should have to as well. Not a good or FAIR rule at all.

And if they're trying to be like NASCAR, they better stop. I don't watch pavement racing for a reason. Dirt track sprint car racing is THE MOST EXCITING racing there is. PERIOD! You don't have to try and make it more exciting...every lap, every corner is exciting in dirt racing. So STOP IT!

just my opinion in the matter

I doubt that very many of the "youngsters" who haunt this site know what an Australian Pursuit entails, and way fewer have ever really seen one.

I agree it is a great rule. Since the guy is probably not in a position to get scored to a higher paying spot , go ahead and send him to the pits. He is just in the way coasting and collecting . This way a guy charging from the tail can have a chance to pass the guy who started on the pole and is stinking up the show. Wow ! I want to shake the hand of the person that had this epiphany. He is advancing racing ten fold .

How many drivers have b*tched about being blocked by lapped cars whne trying to pass and contend for the win?

Maybe, just maybe, USAC has heard this enough and trying to make some changes to eliminate this amount of b*tching.

Im for putting the lapers back in the possition they were in. If they were 17th They start 17th in the row.

If you want fair, Bring out pacer lights

I agree. That way cars 2 laps down start behind cars 1 lap down, and every body races for position.

USAC emulating NASCRAP isn't a good idea. Last time they did it almost destroyed their silver crown series. Next thing you know they'll want to lock in the top fifteen in points into the feature. Dang, they already have stinkin' provisionals.

Just to play Devil's Advocate for a moment, consider this scenario: A 40 lap A-main goes without a single caution until lap 35. The top one or two drivers have "checked out", and have lapped deep into the field. And very few drivers have pulled off. If you have well over half the remaining field down a lap, why shouldn't they be able to race with each other for position without having to worry about screwing things up on the restart for the leaders?

Now, for a regular 20 or 25 lap weekly feature, you should probably go ahead and put the lappers up where they belong. It's usually not going to matter if the lappers get to race for position in those deals, because there will usually only be a couple of them, and they will be towards the tail end of the running order anyway.
