Nope. In fact, a lot of times at bracket events I end up first out. At one track, everybody stacks up in the right lane. About the middle of the season, I started making it my business to be the first guy in line every round... in the LEFT lane. "Surprisingly", the left lane became really popular, really fast. Should've seen the look on the staging director's face when he saw cars stacking up in the left, probably for the first time in years. LOL
Had to run Chip Johnson three rounds in a row when I was footbraking in the Box class at Rockingham a few weeks ago. Chip was double-entered, so he was always first in line in the right lane. Nobody wanted to run him, so they all stacked up behind him. Again, and again, and again.
I frequently end up running hitters early in eliminations, because I hate sitting around. I'm always the guy that just picks the emptiest lane, and after I pull in beside the hitter, THEN everybody piles into the lane behind me. Pretty sad. I like random draw lanes at bracket races.
While it would take some more effort, I like Pinoski's idea. It's too bad that you have to design or change procedures just because of a handful of guys.
