Re: Class lane choice etiquette
Bruce,
Good question, but in my opinion if stock and super stock are a performance based eliminator, I think the fastest car when running heads up does deserve lane choice. If the bye goes to the fastest car, then logically lane choice should go with it. I think the flip works just fine anytime you put a dial in on the window.
I know many times when I was the slower car, I would tell my opponent he had the lane choice.
In my situation I ask my opponent for lane choice because I was faster. He did not agree and we flipped, he seem kind of perturb that I even asked, so not to have any hard feelings I agreed with no argument.
To me it was logical to expect lane choice and I would have been glad to give it to him if he was the fastest. After class was over I ask many racers, and most said you flip for lane choice because that’s the way its always been. I guess its hard to buck tradition.
