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.
