Safety Car usage with a crash on main straight?

[BootsOntheSide]

Regarding the issue of whetehr the cars should've been taken down the pitlane durin ghte safety car perod at Indy, the excellent F1 Rejects website's race review offered this alternate view:

Martin Brundle in the ITV commentary box also suggested that, instead of taking the cars past the scene and over the debris, the safety car should have gone through the pit lane. For once, I disagree with him. The pit lane has a speed limit on safety grounds; would that have been enforced? Also, what if someone at the front of the queue dived into their pit box for a quick stop? Where would they emerge? Would the teams themselves have to hold the car until the whole queue passed?

Clealy, a degree of advance preparation needs to be made if this system is to be used in future. But how should this be done? In particualr, shoudl there be a limit as to which points in teh safety car period that a pitstop can be made?
