Re: "Lollygaggers"
The point made by some about hardship placed on track officals is very good. If the effort of the racer (to get paired up) matched the effort of the officals, everyones day would be easier. There are many racers that are considerate of others. The "hitters" know exactly who they have next round, and so should everyone else. Most everyone that goes rounds has several sets of eyes in his corner feeding information from reconnaissance and surveillance. It's called "situational awareness" and if you don't have it....you ain't winning squat! Pair yourself up...move up...shake hands...flip for lane...and RACE! Be considerate of others, both competitors and officals. If you have a situation and need more time, communicate that to your opponent so he does'nt have to sit up there and wait on you. I know you would do that for your buddy!
When the first set of cars come onto the track....make an announcement...lanes closed in 2 minutes for that class. After 2 minutes announce, lanes closed for that class and first call for next class. That will provide room for paring to begain all over again.
