I understand the theory behind that, but am not very fond of that.
Kyle, I’m not picking on you but do want to give you a different perspective. I’ve made the 7 plus hour tow down to Summit Point a couple of times for the Labor Day event. I would have been upset if I was not given the opportunity to run with the primary group for the race win. For those who are not familiar with the Labor Day event, it is a really cool double, a long and fun race weekend! Two years ago a few of us went down there for the event. For the first qualifying session, I did o.k. Once it came time for the second session, I became more familiar with the track and qualified 3rd (+/- a position) in ITB. While on grid I was approached by another driver who is running for points in that division, was in a battle for the season lead, but qualified behind me. He stated that he noticed my times were dropping pretty quickly as I got more track time. He then said that the guy who qualified on pole and him were in a close fight for the season championships, essentially asking me to pull over and let him go by. I was a bit annoyed with this and my response was quite simple. I’ll be in front of both of you, so that way it won’t hurt your season points. LOL Well, I ended up spinning on the first lap. Doh! The whole point being is that both of those drivers needed to deal with me and that is a part of racing. Besides, should I let the entire field go by? What about the guy whose running for second place, or third…
