Yeah it would be a show more of a wreckfest though there would be an issue with not being able to get a lap in because someone would just shovel for the bottom regardless of what is there. The restart line would work if they fixed ther very issue they have now with the starts and that is officiating.  Put a stop to the poor starts and brake checking with the black flag and get tough on it. Even single file starts can be good if the racers know that the pace would pick up consistently and smoothly and that if they failed to do so bumper to bumper lineups are the only way they will be allowed to start. Sloppy starts where people get away with brake checks and laying back and scrambling before the line are all caused by a lack of enforcement over the last few years and I had hoped that personell changes over the winter would have helped to fix that but I was wrong.  

agreed, we all herd from the new race director and "his team" that this would be dealt with, sadly it is the same old!

double-file here would be just as bad as double-file at Martinsville--nothing better than a single-groove (or mostly single groove) track to make "cautions breed cautions."  Every restart would consist of the outside cars trying deseperately to ram their way back down to the inside.  Double-file restarts work great on TRUE 2-groove tracks, or with cars that have the grip to make the outside work half-decently (like Modifieds.)
