my first season i only ran a few race weekends and i wanted to be in the back. this year i ran one race (cause i got bugged up pretty ugly in a wreck that weekend) but i got stuck in the back because i didn't get reg. early and wasn't sure i would make it. i gridded up on the inside of the last row and shot from there up to third by turn one. it's fun as hell to have to fight to get to the front, but i have to admit, passing 12 or 14 people because you've got your chest on the wind screen and your chin as low as you can stretch your neck isn't the safest way for anybody on the track.
it couldn't be that damn hard to pick out the names on race day and line them up by points. it would sure be safer to not have a slew of fast guys gritting their teeth in the back row.
