Title: team/solo challenge @ daytona
Post by: zeroice on March 06, 2007, 05:48:00 PM
So, that was a fun race! But what was up with the restart??? There were 57 entries and probably most of them got to restart after the red flag, Why wasn't there a multi wave re-start? That was waaaay dangerous!!! Is it because everyone was scored overall and the solo was mixed in with the team??? some explenation please!

I was standing behind the pit wall for the restart and it was crazy. I was just happy I wasn't out there.

That's just how it works out sometimes and I'm not going to complain.  Last year after red flags at Barber and VIR, I was on the first row for the restarts. :biggrin:
I was running in the middle of the complete field at the time of the stoppages.

Restarts that do not use the original grid, use RUNNING ORDER for grid positions. The leader gets pole and all the other bikes are placed in the order that they were on the track behind the leader. If you were just lapped by the leader on the lap previous to the red flag, you will be second on the grid, next to the leader.
