Agreed. Leave the non-yellow races for papy pickup racing.

If we do it though I volunteer for Infinity and Homestead. I hate
<sniff, sniff> to miss those races, but I will do it for the good of
RASCAR if that what it takes.

What is so artificial about a no racing back to yellows rule?
There are literally 100's of leagues thats been using this rule. I cannot
see any reason why this should cause so many problems in RASCAR.
In fact I wouldnt be supprised if there's more leagues out there that
prohibit racing back to the line - than there are those that allow it. If
you want people to slow down during cautions - this rule is a *must*.
Drivers wont slow down as long as there's a good chance they'll loose
posistions 'cause some other driver just floors it (or just dont see what's
going on and driver faster)
This has happend to me several times this season and it pisses me off every
time it happends - Seery being the last one to put me down a posistion at
Pocono. Infact this was indirectly the reason why I blew my engine at
Daytona... Larry passed be down the BS after the yellow and that pissed me
off.. so when he slowed down out of 4 I wanted to repass him... and that's
when I shifted down to 2nd by error and blew the engine. So much for having
a race-plan... :-/

If you don't follow the rules - you're out. End of story.
[Now before some smart ass reply come's up... Use your head dammit! Of
course there are ways to add warnings or other penalties before a one get's
kicked out - of the race and/or of the invite list [read: RASCAR].
OH FOR ***S SAKE - USE YOUR HEAD!
There are, ofcourse, situations and times where rules must be broken and
rule-books thrown aside.
If the guy infront of you spin or***up badly on a restart - you pass
him.
If you pass someone in avoidance under yellow - you let the guy re-pass you
either before you take the yellow, under the caution (in the pits) or after
the green if there problems. (You can be damned sure *he'll* let you know!
:-))
There's 1000's of leagues that successfully run their own rules out there,
so why should this be such a big problem for RASCAR?
What will make people follow them? If they wanna be in RASCAR (or any other
league for that matter) they will have to follow the rules or they'll
history before you can say "Bobs your uncle"!

No way... one of the major problems, IMO, is having faster drivers forced to
come up through the field and trying to make gains when it's the easiest and
most dangerous, i.e. on or shortly after restarts.

That just benefits the people near the front more. Because if a wreck happens
between two cars fighting for 6th, the top 5 cars aren't even affected by it.
Those of us constantly stuck near the back have to dodge shit created as the
mid-pack guys trip over each other. The leaders motor on, blissfully unaware,
with LPI ratings intact...
Statistics come into play here. Say there are 10 crashes in every race. If I
have a 90% avoidance rate, I'm still getting involved in one wreck every race.
If *every* wreck happens in front of you, you're gonna get caught in some of
them. If they all happen behind you, why would that driver care? That just
eliminates more competition...

The whole point is to make them do what they normally don't have to
do - live in the back for a few laps, and give someone else a chance
to win. In IGPS, we had a couple of times where the previous weeks
winner started in the back and still won the race.

I don't like those either. I've been involved in wrecks 3 weeks in a row
before - none of them of my own doing. To get crashed out of a race is bad
enough. But then to get banned from the next one because of it seems over the
top.
