Track Sign In/ Line up Procedures XII
"1)...Sign in will be at the Pit Gate and must be done in person.
2)...Numbers will be pulled by the computer which will be your starting position for the heat race.
3)...After the heat race, the winner will go to the Pit Office and draw pills/straws for the number of cars to be inverted for the feature.This will be the feature line up.
4)...The winner from the previous week will start behind the same number of cars that he/she won in front of the week before.
5...If you are a winner one week and do not race the following week, or later, when you do return, you will start the race at the rear of the entire field."
this is a vast improvement over last years procedure which penalized drivers who where doing well at the end of the year and were trying to catch the points leader. applied, it meant that they started almost every race behind the car that they had to catch and it led to sandbagging on the part of the points leaders. "gosh, i don't have to start racing till points 2nd passes me".
especially nice is the feature winner to back the subsequent week with a penalty for trying to get around the invert.
the only tweak i'd like to see to these yet is a penalty for contact in heats or practices. there's way to many guys from Sportsman to SLM who are smashing up cars before we ever get to the feature. if everybody had a "start the feature at the back" penalty for wreck/spin contact earlier in the night it might start to get their attention.
black flagging for flagrant blocking ( or wrecking ) of cars trying to make an outside pass would be nice but thats a different issue.
