Yes, but every violation has a weight placed on it. If I red light, then you go on your "single" and hit the wall, I'm reinstated. Same thing if you fail fuel check or weight. Every thing is a first or worse situation. Except for the red lights.
I don't see any logical explanation through this entire thread why guys are opposed to this. Just because it's the way it's always been? I've ran super stock for 20 years and the purse has always been $1800 to win. Should that not change also????
Even if it affects just one race, it's worth it in my opinion.
