I actually like Heads up starts. IFMAR qualifying has a time and a place, big races.
Things i like about heads up start:
Program is quicker
Mixes up racing-
In Ifmar, you almost always have the same guys Qualifying at the top.. in Heads up, theres a chance one of the midpack guys can get out to the holeshot, and run a clean race and qualify higher than he might have otherwise.
Teaches people how to start -
Theres a reason why Starts in mains have deteriorated over the years.. its becuase no one knows how to start clean. They only have to start in traffic in 33% of their races..

+1 For heads up qualifying. Ifmar starts get boring and it's hard to tell if the guy next to you is on a faster or slower qualifying time. So you don't know if you should check up and let him go or push to pass him.
+1 For post-race staging table in front of the ramp. Just make sure the table is in plain sight and not off in the shadows somewhere.
-1 for splitting 1/8th gas/elect buggy. 4 makes a class but slows the race program down and honestly not that fun. I'd rather mix it up and run a larger mixed class. Maybe when there's 8 or more electric 1/8ths splitting the classes would make sense.
