Basing run groups is a good idea as long as they are all advanced level drivers who are aware of their surroundings and know how to safely pass and get passed.

I love the idea of taking a minute or two in the drivers meeting or something to explain how to not ruin someones lap. There will always spoilage no matter what, but making people more aware that some people in the group are in a time attack challenge and want a clean lap should help reduce how much its happening.
I haven't heard anything about breaking any tuning rules but I think there might be a certain someone that has a higher rev limit.
I'm going to see what's on the fp when I put the tune back on it. I totally agree that it's impossible to check so it might as well open up, plus I wanna run my tune.

Is it the same cars that are causing traffic?

Hehe yeah I think your rev limit maaaay be a little higher than mine sir. I definitely look forward to running a tune with higher limit, that additional flexibility must be excellent.

And yeah Matt I think it would be easy enough to take a few extra minutes at the start of each day to go over some things that would eventually get burned into people's minds. There will always be traffic but it is easy enough to avoid spoiling people's laps in a lot of scenarios. I think using headlights is a good idea. I often give slower traffic a few quick flashes of my high beams anyways (force of habit ) and it seems to work well without causing a ruckus.
