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.
The fastest car is the one that wins class. It kills me when a driver says he is the fastest car then joe blow steps his car up and hands his *** to him that little qualifiying sheet right before class elim dont mean squat and yes you do flip for lanes.
