St. Onge spun, and stayed sittin there due to traffic and brought out a caution.  Butler kept driving right through, yes he hit the spun car trying to avoid it, but in my eyes that is not involved.    If thats involved, then half the field should go to the back everytime there is a spin out as everyone checks up and bumps eachother.

I agree with thunder 6, Butler was involved, also i think if you stop you are an involved car,when they stick with the rules and realise that Racing is not fair and never will be, they will take a lot of the arguing and b/s out of racing. All Involved cars to the back.

>:( >:( >:( >:( Ya See'' God Dam it'I'm Not the only person with eye balls,,So St.Onge gets screwed,,The way I see it Mark or Steve better have a chat with That Flagger''To Save a lot Of Arguements,Sunset should have Close circut Video around the track along with Transponder System,,Goes to show how much the fans do watch the races,and Kevin ''Your Right again.. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

only two nights left with the "flagger" or "iron chest". I heard a certain someone is not getting the "invitation" to come back next year. I can neither confirm or deny if they are true tho.

From what I understand about this involved to the back rule it just doesn't seem right to me. Why not an instigator rule? Is the tower afraid to make a call? Do they think everyone that gets spun by somebody from behind is brake checking ???

Okay so I'm going to throw this out there because it's been bugging me here for a few days, I'm not all that bright and I'm sure I missed something, so I invite someone to tell me what it is that I missed.

Sept 6 Thunder Car race, Darryl St. Onge has the race in the bag, gets spun by a car about to go a lap down, gets sent to the back as an involved car...

Sept 13 Ministock race Sunset Speedway points leader Doug Butler is an involved car, does not get sent to the back, and I hear the flagman telling him to take his spot back.

It really seems to me that "rules are not rules" if you're the home track points leader and fan favorite...

Not trying to make problems for people leading the points or anything but it seems the application of "the rules" is spotty at best. I understand what's done is done, but I have a very bad taste in my mouth over this whole deal. Anyone see where I'm coming from here?

Kevin,

The way I understand the involved car rule is it depends on if any actual contact is made, then you're classed as an involved car. If you spin to avoid a wreck and make no contact, you are not an involved car and you generally get your spot back.

1+ That's how I saw the ruling myself.
