I was also at Vegas 2 and know what you are talking about. It was ugly....
I like the idea of something more for those who use the diapers.
I also stayed for the Divisional the next weekend and noted the class causing most of the oil down delays on qualifying day at the National was treated like step children at the Divisional with scheduling at that race. They waited all day and ran late into the night while we went to dinner at the Casino.
I have friends who race that category and we agreed that something would be done after that mess. They thought it was over after the scheduling issue at the Division race.
I guess we now know the results was a little more.
