Chuck, what do you think about getting a rule change that the car must be identified as having or not having a reverse gear? A big yellow or orange "R" on the car someplace if it doesn't have a reverse gear. CR

A race car that leaves the line or grid quickly in reverse by mistake is not that uncommon! I think it is a very good thing if the grid workers have to use a tiny bit of muscle to back a car up. They are standing up and can usually see a LOT better than the strapped in driver.
