cool idea... but the reason why it might not work not saying it isnt because it could!! but i think the playing with the competetion taking longer to stage the mistakes nerves kick in...etc.. something breaks you have to fix it in the 30 min time before next race or w.e track rules that are posted..cant tell me you aren't nervous when your staged some guy next to you is playing with the time burning out then pre stages and starts ticking to stage and its letting your tires get colder so you squeal a bit..little tricks so he gain some advantage..lots of things like that is what makes racing racing..
