          I realize that may be what the rule book says, but if you watch the video, it just doesn’t look good. More power to him though. If that is going to be the way it is drivers might as well just brake-check everybody on the start and cause a big ole crash and re-start at the front every time until there aren’t any cars left.

          I am not always right, admittedly, but the ability of some you to stick your head in the sand and not even want to have a civil discussion about some things that happen at the racetrack baffles me.

            I might be mistaken here and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but, hasn't this been the rule for quit a while now. I'm not saying it's right or wrong just it's been the rule.

                  I think "all forms of dirt track racing" is a bit broad. Must be a door-banger thing, it isn't like that in sprint cars. And just because it is the rule doesn't make it right. I don't think it is right to have to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens and someone taking advantage of welfare on my dime either, but I guess I'll leave it at that. I am spotting again

                    Sometimes rules are made for absolutely no apparent reason at all........I could give you a few great recent examples, but ( sigh) I digress.
                    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                      Hope to clarify, WoO and track rules are different. WoO makes all of the late model calls. WoO original starts are determined by two jugs in the infield. Pole sitter sets the pace in turn 3 with the outside pole to stay side by side. Neither driver can fire before the first jug. After the first but before the second the pole driver can fire at anytime legally. Outside cannot fire first. On restarts the leader may fire any time from turn 3 on. Track uses the chalk lines for their original starts. If one lap is not complete and a caution is thrown there is a complete restart. I believe that contact between any cars determines a complete restart. If a driver just pulls up and stops then he is sent to the tail.

                        Sprint cars are different in that since they have no clutches their rules are if you stop and need a push you go to tail

                            Chalk lines

                            I had to watch the DoD video.Over and over. They did not show up on the heat races Sunday? Maybe it was the camera angle but I doubt it. I have seen Billy start 100's of races-he pays very close attention to the start line/flagman,it's one of many reasons he is hard to beat to turn 1.
