Lappers have been and always will be a part of racing. If Yates or whomever isn't a good enough racer to handle that, then Yates is a tool and should go back to racing WERA. If the AMA wants to eliminate backmarkers, then change the damn rulebook and percentage cut off. The AMA has complete control over the situation via the rulebook.

Until then, Al should be flipping burgers at a local Sonic instead of having anything to do with a "professional" organization.

Of course, this is just my opinion. 8)
And a good opinion it is!
