    The plate on shorter tracks does not make much sense, but would still allow them to race. Automatic restarts makes no sense at all to me. Are you saying it would be more like drag racing with four turns and a return lap to a restart? Had not heard this one - where's it coming from?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Maybe it was a poor analogy.......... It was clear in my mind.............. Think about it............. Reading a book and every time you turn the page you have to read the 1st page over again. Just when you get going you have to start all over again. Forgive me it was early and I was irrated............

    OK, now I understand where you're coming from I like the 'reading a book' analogy, but a restart on every lap of a race is pretty good, too....
