No dead time - having more than one person at the starting gate will ensure that any talking to's or radi communuication don't interfere with the regular rhythm of sending people.
Cool-down zone - 2 cones set up as a gate along the return path to shut people down from getting wild and invincible will let you send the next driver all that much sooner.
Yes. the 2nd two were very apparent to me as i took over start for a run group. I had to wait for people to stop sliding and drive normal so I knew it was safe to send next. And then when they were trying to radio me, I couldnt send cars and listen.
The tech situation I also agree with some sort of change. I think thats easiest to solve at least. It boils down to needing more track workers. hell, we didnt even have cone runners so they just stopped having cones.
