I guess I failed to mention all the laggards who have the advantage of analyzing the cars going down the track for an hour or so in search of changing weather conditions, traction issues, etc.

I have yet to witness less than adequate warning to get your car to the lanes.
First car does a burnout and I would be roping off the lanes if it were my call.

I'm with Jeff on this one... On a lesser scale at our track but I have friends who run the lanes. It's always the same people who think they don't have to show up in time or be prepared to race once they get there. This practice is discourteous to the racer you are paired with, holds up the program and causes a huge jamb in the lanes while the track official is trying to locate straglers. It may help your race program to be last up but someone has to be first and there is no reason for everyone to not fall in line unless you have a mechanical problem.

I should clarify the wording in my post from page 10. I don't personally have a problem with anyone and when they show up to the lanes. Unless it was a problem in regards to slowing the running of the event. If it were holding up the show, whether a round or a pair in that round, then the rule could be implemented. Especially if there is inclimate weather approaching. I prefer going early most of the time (at least in qualifying), but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Hey Don, no response to my earlier thread? Owned?

Is it possible the autostart system caused the rule changes to courtesy staging and no deep staging?

Seems to me the elimination of deep staging and the requirement of courtesy staging might have actually hurt the "Touring Pros" or more Savvy racers. Knowing where you are in the staging beams every time and staging in the same place would be more of an advantage than it is now.
