Bridgeport Mods 1/2 Way Break  

I waited to weigh in with my thoughts, and glad I did as you guys brought up a lot of good points that I enjoyed reading.

My initial thought is that maybe they are getting pressure from some of the top teams that have to start near the back and who without the aid of a caution, do not feel they have enough time to get to the front.  I know that's got to be frustrating, but that's also been part of racing for.... well, at least it used to be.

Maybe it's more simple than that....  Nascar started with their calculated competition cautions, and SRX came up with "Green Flag Limit Has Been Hit" cautions, which do nothing but juice up the game because... well..., because it's entertainment and because they can.  So much for the integrety of the race.

I'm a traditionalist, and would rather see no break - run it through and let the real cautions fall where they may.  Some races will run straight through... some won't.  I'm fine with that as long as it happens organically. 

The other issue is that there is no such thing as a quick pit stop at Bridgeport now that the pits are on the outside of turn 1, but the track exit is at the entrance to turn 3.  (So if pit stops are in play, well... as they put it, everyone will have plenty of time to "catch their breath" and then some, as I am sure they will not go back to green until every single car who had pitted, and made their changes, had made their way back out to the track and got lined back up.) 

"Breaks" that interupt green flag racing have been an issue for me in recent years, once I realized that tracks seemingly overnight decided it was ok for a driver to stop... bring out the caution.... go to the pits and change a tire/other... while the rest of the field, and all of the spectators wait for their return.  How many race outcomes were determined because instead of pulling into the infield as maybe they should have, the driver stopped on the track to intentionally bring out the yellow (then headed to the pits), restacking the field, and you know the rest.

I'm not a weekly Bridgeport fan (was there 3 times last year I think) but I am interested to hear what some of the Bridgeport Frequent Flyer fans have to say.
