Buyback Question

Pete for the most part you are right. Some races, very few I have been to, have the first rd buy backs run each other then the winners fall back in line for rd 2 of the regular competition. But most of them if you loose 1st rd, or sometimes 2nd rd, you "buy back" and fall right into the next rd. I have raced the same guy 1st and 2nd rd before.. That is just the way it is. I believe that the tracks do it to increase revenue. When I was much younger, 1st rd loosers could enter a "Gamber race". You paid $10 and the purse was set by how many people bought into it. They would split winner and R/U and that was it.. Man how times have changed. Now I have never been in a race that has "Muligans", that is a different animal..LOL..
