My Feedback: (1)

This is something  I've always wanted to ask a race director:  Why is it that reverse is not allowed at race tracks?
I can see that using reverse at the wrong time, i.e. in traffic, could cause secondary collision, but used with discretion I would think it would be usefull in just backin yourself out of a barrier.  What is the rationale for No Reverse?
