then why not just keep the worse of the 7th/8th starts, seems more judicious than throwing down a huge penalty just for the hell of it it's not some huge penalty for the hell of it. it makes sense. The limit is 7 starts. If you use more than 7, you lose your best starts. That's a perfectly logical penalty for exceeding the limit. Sometimes it costs a team a win, sometimes it doesn't. I took away 27 points from truffle.
