At the end of last season in Seward we talked about a rules meeting at some point. After talking to Dave tonight I wanted to see what interest in discussing in possible rules change or wanted anything voted on for changes. Before trying to find a date, time, and place thought I would see if there was anything that needed to be discussed. We could possibly discuss on here and do voting on here and save us all an afternoon but let me hear your thoughts on this.
Things I remember that need to be discussed are more on flagging the race.
- Issue 1 - A car a not running for position spins a car running at the front causing this car to lose his position and is going to be black flagged. Should the race be stopped no matter how many laps are left or let this be a judgement call for the officials? This happened last year in Lincoln with half a lap to go the 3rd place car got spun and was passed. The judgement was made by the official to give this driver his spot back after the race because he wouldn't have been passed without being spun. Thoughts?
- Issue 2 - When does the race end? Currently Dave's crew lets the races play out and finish 3,4,5 cars before waving the checkered flag. This could cause the leader to run so extra laps while letting this happen. So question is does the race end and the field freeze when the leader takes the checkered flag or try and let the lead lap cars finish their 20 laps as well which lets the leader run more than the scheduled 20.
Please post if there is anything else you would like discussed. If there is enough stuff that needs discussed a meeting can be arranged but trying to save everyone time.
At this point still planning to run the 3 classes with the same rules unless you speak up.
When posting please sign your name so we know who everyone is.
Thanks,
