The problem I see with hot laping is if a person has any kind of mechanical problems........no time to fix.
I was once in this position, @ Midsouths Nat 2nd round I think it was......I broke a planetary gear on the starting line, and my competitor never looked over, yes he broke out. In my case I had till the next day to fix it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really crazy about all the long waits, (next days) but I think its the lesser of the evil.

Just my 2
