The Problen at the (All american) was that their were to Many ROOKIES ON THE TRACK.
Some Guys Had Never Been In That Class.
If that is the case, the USLMRA license SHOULD prevent that, is that not what it's for? One Open race shouldn't dictate the way the whole series is run.
We do want to reserve the rights to do so if needed.
Then may I make a suggestion that the rule book in the future reads it as optional.
Here's my perspective. It upsets me at 2 levels:
1. As a participant in the class having a potential small mishap cost a shot at running a points feature, I will really think hard about how far I am willing to go for a race. We need to have a fair way to narrow the field, a single elimination heat I do not believe is.
2. As a venue, knowing racers such as myself will be wieghing this possiblity and possibly choosing not to come to my race because they may not get a chance to run the feature, therefore limiting my show. This is a class my spectators want to see and I want it as full as possible.
I don't mind the possibility of limiting the number of racers if it is not safe, but I also don't want it set in stone before anyone even gets to the track. The way the rule reads, its set in stone. It needs to be communicated that it is not moving forward, please.
