Title: 30 second quarters.
Post by: Parked on January 20, 2026, 10:37:32 PM
How does it work when 1 second allowance ? Do they give that second to any 1/4 or divide it up.   Looks like drivers were taking turns going slow quarters. 6 races showed 5 drivers going quarters slower than 30 seconds. Holland with one in 31.2 might have rung the bell ?

  If they are going to take turns, they should be going hard for the full 30 seconds.

Works best when they BOTTOM out the field and they go that last 30 seconds HARD for sure.  ;D

The worlds most over paid workers are in full control and this rule will not be followed by judges that are also way over paid and most of them were horse people that never see wrongs and when seeing a huge turn around will give credit to the hard working people of the banca team,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Only a track like Yonkers would embarrass themselves with a stupid rule like this.  Who was the genius behind it?
