Hypothetical for the grid by timers:

Scenario: You are an F car and qualified ahead of all the E cars. FredC and Timmy Lin crash in the esses taking out E cars 1 and 2. That leaves Good Hands and me fighting for 1st and second in E. Either I purchased some ***** or I'm cheating and I am somehow able really pressure Good hands and we are wheel to wheel, door to door, back and forth. It's epic.

You've been watching us in your mirror. We get a little closer each lap. Finally we are right behind you.

Do you:

A) Race us as if we are all going for an overall finishing position?

or

B) Do you allow GH and I to continue our E battle to the end?
What difference does it make if both of you are only fighting for first place in E?

I would probably let you by IF

1) I myself was not involved in a fight for a podium position in my class and

2) you were obviously faster in the corners......

I have been in your same exact situation plenty of times where some of the slower G,H, I,K cars just would pull away in the straights and hold me up in the corners.......

Thanks......

Charlie:
Last year the 3rd Sprint was added Sunday morning in the drivers' meeting to fill a hole since they only ran one enduro because the car count was low. I think the standard 2 sprints Sat and enduros on Sunday is on for this year.

OK, cool. I am bringing my kids with me, having them blow off activities, etc., to make the sprint races. The compromise is I was bringing them back for my son's travel soccer game on Sunday.
