Ask me how I know. Make sense for a car running on the stop but not an all out 9.90 car running @ 130mph Russ

I know that 150mph used to be the rule, but it might have changed since they don't send out rule books anymore.

Of course that dooes not mean some local track tech guy wont try to enforce it either.... Oh yeah the rulebook is now electronic. YOu can download a copy if you like.
