Our thanks to the prestage idea and folks, too. No big difference in the amount of time spent waiting to run -- but wow, how cool to go to staging and immediately have Al and the others asking why we're not already suited up and ready to run. And the lines in staging were nice and short -- no big process to try to guess which would be the shortest wait to run.
Yep, I'm very pleased with the pre-stage system. Knowing that about 10 vehicles at a time are released to go to staging was cool -- we racers in line had a very good idea of how long we'd be waiting, and the volunteers at the pre-stage line were kind enough to mosey back about 15-20 vehicles to tell us about how much longer we'd have to wait.
Do it again, Dan -- and everyone. Thanks.
