    I totally understand that you can make up alot of spots on restarts, but more often than not... it seems to get people tore up and the risk just isn't worth it to me. I try to just not lose anything on starts and if there is a good opportunity to move up, I will, but not at the expense of running over someone. So many crate guys try to win it on the first lap or first lap of a restart and take themselves and others out with them.

      Two weeks ago we restarted 7 times in a row then ran two laps before another! No kidding!
      Yeah just turn right and go over the bank when everyone crashes in 1. I hate starting on the bottom.

        I'm the opposite. Every time I start on top I end up pinched in the wall.

          In My opinion..... most races are started way too slow. And unless it is a wide track should be single file nose to tail @ the fire line. There would be a lot less parts sold that way!

            I'll agree with started too slow, I like double file though. Used to run a 1/3 mile and going single file restart at the cone halfway down the back stretch. The leader almost is lapping cars before the last few cars even make it to the cone.

              A Ron, there's away around that getting pinched up to the wall,, get your front tires ahead of his front so you do not knock your toe out and steer back against him.. as far as what people are calling trail braking the start what its doing is building cylinder pressure and has the complete drive line loaded up..
