Selecting the first few pairings to run

[63corvette]

At the Topeka Ks National event in round 2 or 3 the Super Stock class was run after Super Gas instead of before as it was scheduled because the Super Stock cars were not showing up to run.
That then threw the Super Gas class into a short setup time for paring, for tires, etc. to get ready to go.
I say if you are not in the lanes when your class is run you are out. NO EXCEPTIONS
Why should one class be coddled at the expense of another no matter which class is next in line?
