Selecting the first few pairings to run

At Joliet,they called the left side of the ladder for first round.Then they called the right side.
I was on the right side and ended up being in the first pair out for first round.
While I don't really care,there seems to be several drivers that like to "hang back" and see how everybody is running to decide on their dial-in.
This is probably a good strategy,but somebody has to be first.
I was at a Division 5 race last year where the first three pair to run were randomly chosen and it was noted on the ladder.Just wondering if anybody thinks this is a good idea?
I actually wanted to be first because the Perfectly Strange money was up to about $1500.(missed it by .004)I don't think anybody won it yet,so there is some big money up for grabs at Englishtown.
