Paul, we need to hook up and attend a race together one of these days ... looks like the ingredients for a good time because we think alike.
I was reading an article today addressing the lap down cars and double file restarts, somebody suggested that if NASCAR is going to continue double file restarts to line the cars up just like the beginning with the leaders doubled up and all lapped cars behind them, the idea is that if a couple of cars gets tangled up front it's at least cars racing for position rather than trying to get a lap back. Sounds fair to me ... at least on the restrictor plate races, usually it's a non-issue at most other tracks.
