There are a few racers who are known for taking their time. I respect that. But I also know that I can "rattle their cage" if I quick stage them. 20 seconds. If car does not stage withing 20 sec of the other racer's stage, they get an automatic red. We griped about this years ago and it helped but didn't solve it, again there are very few who are known for being "slow" but we usually know who they are, and if everything's right, we ain't scared to pull in quickly. Did it on a 10k in 2007, and won.
