Hi ss11.
If your suggesting to run the intire 100 laps under green
(with exception to caution laps), I agree. Stockcar racing is not only a race of speed, it's also an endurance race. Fuel consumption, Engine failure, flatten tires should all be factored into the equation. The races I've been involved in, where we had driven up to 100 laps, could be run with only one tank of fuel and a single set of tires. Of course
I had a sixteen gallon fuel cell and the tires take offs we purchased from a late model team with only a single race on them. I don't mean to pat myself on the back, I just think it can be done without the break. Maybe the drivers who will compete in this race sould be polled and see how they feel about the break. My guess is, the fans will enjoy it more and the drivers will too.....Ray
