Why is is "OK" for the late racer to control the pairing? One wants to run early, one wants to run late...but the "late" arriver is in control. The early racer wants to know why we allow it?

I don't know what the proper answer is for either question. The usual answer is to just shrug the shoulders, and say there's nothing I can do about it. I'm interested in your answers as racers are split about 50-50 on this. Just consider me an interested spectator with a with a pretty good cheap seat to watch the races from.

This is easy - do you think they put up with this crap in any other form of motor sports?

Simple if the other half is not there he is out.

If both are not there - they both lose. And so on down the line.

What about - first car there gets automatic lane choice - not important enough.

It should not be a joke to have a call to the lanes and have some guys act like they just got to the track.

Give me a break - get a life - show up on time or lose.

Almost all of us would think it is fair to DQ you - if you are late.

A few prima donna types would wine.
