April
25, 2012: After hearing your comments at both practice sessions this past
Saturday and Sunday, the double-file re-start procedure has been
adjusted. Simply, lapped cars will fall to the back before racing goes
back to green, and the first car a lap down will receive the “Lucky Dog”,
putting them on the lead lap.
This
applies to all divisions, including Gold Cup. The complete procedure
follows:
Each
class will now include double-file restarts. The following details the
procedure.
Under
caution, cars will remain in single file order. When the track is cleared to resume
racing, drivers will be instructed as follows (by spotters in Late Models and
Sportsman, by scanner/Raceceiver in Figure 8, Street Stock, 4 Cylinders):
1.
When instructed by Tower/Spotter
Stand/Flagstand Official, the first car a lap down will be given the “lucky
dog” and will be instructed to progress forward at a safe speed until they have
come around to the tail of the field, thereby getting their lap back. Lapped cars will then be instructed to pull
to the outside lane in the order they are running and drop to the back, single
file behind the last lead-lap car.
2.
When instructed by Tower/Spotter
Stand/Flagstand Officials, after all lapped cars have lined up behind lead
lap cars, the cars will then double up to prepare for the green flag restart.
CARS 1st, 3rd, 5th and odd numbered restart
positions will be in the inside lane, and 2nd, 4th, 6th
and even numbered restart positions will be in the outside lane. LAP DOWN CARS will
double up from the order they are in single file alternating inside/outside
behind the lead lap cars.
