I guess this wouldn't bother me so much, but last fall at the Osceola points race I stood in the lanes watching 4 cars left, one was missing I heard them at least 3 times make a call out for the missing car, finally they went ahead and ran the round. the one car was waved on to make a single which he did, about the time he left the line here comes his opponent. The missing driver jumped out and began yelling at the officials then ran straight for the tower. Not long after this they had a rerun for this guy and he won the round. Hey if you're late to the lanes you're just late sorry about your luck. Now I watched as the 2 IHRA officials told the racer sorry you were late, then they got overruled by someone in the tower, now that is not right, the officials call on sight should stand. Of course there are always some exceptions but being late for a round of eliminations is pretty cut and dry to me. Joe
