When the first pair in the class goes down the track, the staging lanes for that catagory should be closed. Only exception is if the tech in charge of staging lanes has been notified that a car is thrashing to make the call. Very simple and the way it was done for years. I remember the signs that stated left or right lane. When turned around, on the back they said "Closed". Also remember the chains that Nitro Joe talked about. Twice last year I was told by tech that I had a break bye and to get in a certain lane. Not that I MIGHT have a break bye. In past years, if tech had been notified you would be told "your opponent is broke but is working on it and might be late. If he shows its a race". Pretty simple if you ask me. Don't need all the tricks but not afraid to use a few of my own if needed.
