Wow, man do you guys take the fun out of racing. Does it really matter if your opponent is in the lanes when you get there. If you have to wait, is it really that big of a deal. You guys have already put yourself out of the race by getting so annoyed about having to wait for your opponent. Instead of being annoyed, use the time to your advantage. Listen to the runs and to see if people are running their number. Pay attention to the wind, there is so much you can do to help your program while waiting. For me its a blessing when I have to wait for my opponent. I get to go over ever aspect of the run, the more info I have the better chance I have at wining.

Making a positive out of a negative will give you a better chance of wining, and most of all, it makes your racing experience more enjoyable. With all things to be upset about, waiting for your opponent seems to be trivial at best.

Mike, Larry has been beating me up for years on Class Racer without using my name. Remember I have a paper car, but with the new CJ's and DP's the heat is now on them. I wouldn't take it personally, its obvious to me why some racers don't like to wait, its not the waiting, its who they are waiting for.
