CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Imitation: The Most Sincerest Form Of Flattery

Here is the way to stop racers from being "too" late to the lanes. Too late is when it affects the next class to race. During Qualifying, or time trials, when you make the "last call" for each class, that's when that class starts down the track. When you run out of cars for that class, then that's when it's over for that run. Once you stop the first racer from running a Q or TT, most of the problems will correct themselves. I believe most of these issues are during TTs, Qual, or the first few rounds of eliminations when car counts are higher. No one wants to wait in the staging lanes too long before running an elimination round while the weather can change. Like R1 in INDY.
As the rounds progress and there are fewer cars, allowances need to be made for someone that is still in in both classes. No one should get upset at a racer that is racing two classes and that is the reason for being a little late.
If you are running 2 classes, you know the sequence of runs and need to not put your self in position to be DQ'd.
