That's the logical solution,1 car 1 driver.Do you think NHRA/IHRA would ever make a rule like that?
The touring sporties would raise such a stick it wouldn't go anywhere.
I had a situation this past weekend at the Dutch for first rd.I left the head of staging and stopped behind the water and didn't see the other car move.I shut off the car and waited ,and waited.The official in the box motioned for me to move up.I hesitated for about 15 secs.Finally i had to move up.It's not the ideal way to win a round but I felt I did all I could to give the other racer a chance to race.
My only win came at Atco in 2006.I had a single in the final because my compitition had problems in the semis.I waited for the longest 45 minutes in my life.They finished the Atco race AND the runoffs from a rained out race.Finally I was told that was it.What helped was that I ran dead on on the run.And my opponent was a good friend.As satisfying as that win was there's still a bit of a void.That's why I'd like to win one with a car in the other lane.
Personaaly I think Scott got shafted.The officials made a dicision to let him go on a single.It wasn't his fault they didn't have a handle on the cars remaining.
