Keep two lanes open and when the usually tail-end Charlies come adrag'in up put them at the head of the lanes and first out! Let'em know you have a place for'em... goin down the track.

Guess I really don't understand why this is an issue. Why do racers care who is always at the back, the last in line? If your opponent likes to be last, then why would you be up there first waiting and getting upset over it? If it really is a problem for the race staff, then make the first class call and 15 minutes later, close the lanes to that class. If you are not in, you don't race. Miss the call once and you will never miss again.

I'm not seeing this as a huge problem.

The three people that this always seems to be directed at are almost always running at least two classes.

If you're letting the time at which they arrive in the staging lanes get into your head, you're beating yourself, and have no one to blame but yourself.

Use all the time your opponent gives you to prepare your car mechanically, and yourself mentally.

Being last in the lanes does not make you a winner, or a champion.

Worrying yourself about what time someone else gets to the lanes may keep you from being a winner, or a champion.

As you recall we had ZERO issues with staging the first time around even with all the exhibition classes with lots of heads up runs there was no screwing around everyone came up in a timly manor and no real stragglers anyone who knows Byron, and Ron, Leak knew that crap was not tollerated there ever, no matter who you are or were
