Well since my original post I have faced the same situation a few more
times. I have found that the smartest thing to do is to give up the
line. Usually I get back around him when he tries it on someone else
and crashes. That is, if I can avoid the spinning cars<g>

Wrong.  The flagman gives the signal at the start AND every restart.  The
only
thing the leader does is keep the rest of the field "in tow" after the
pace car
drops off.  If the leader were to accellerate way before the flagman waves
green,
the flagman CAN call a restart and they will have to go around and get
back in line,
no matter what lap it is.  No one can pass the leader until the flagman
waves green.

Cheers!

Wrong.  You can pass before the s/f line, but only to the right.

   Hey Papyrus,
These posts gave me an idea....Is there a possibility of adding "rumble
strips"
below the white line in NASCAR 2 so that this wouldn't happen ?

I stand corrected, but how many times have you actually seen cars pass
on the right on the start while on Hawaii?  I can't remember ever seeing
anyone take this strategy.

Would you rather be right or finish the race? The smart thing to do is give
up the line.
