Double file restarts...good or bad? Does it help Robby?

The proposal states all starts will be double file. The race leader will have his choice of which lane to use for the restart. The third-place car will always start in the inside lane. There will be no changes in the free pass or "lucky dog," and cars that are one lap down can choose not to pit, therefore regaining a lap during a caution.

The cars staying out & choosing not to pit will create some interesting scenarios...at Bristol?

It will create some exciting restarts. You can be 30th but only 15 car lengths from the front. Should take the leaders longer to lap the field. Single file restarts at some tracks stretch around half the track.

Does it help Robby?

I think it does. Robby tends to be able to beat alot of cars on the restarts, loose a few spots after a few laps and then really gain on long runs. Restarting double file will allow Robby to pick off more positions,

Lucky Dog...it will allow drivers racing for the lucky dog to race each other at the rear and not get in the way of the leaders.

I think it's a great idea!

Thank you for explainingg the proposal. I wasn't aware of all the stipulations. I think I like the double file restart idea now. I knew it would make for some excitement, but I wasn't sure I was in favor of screwing over the lap down guys and making them start in the back. I know there is the lucky dog, but I have never been a fan of that rule either. I think I agree with thejimbeam7 in that the good things about this rule outweigh the bad.

I don't know why I made this post since I am so undecided.:)
