Eric might do it slightly different than this, but...

You are going to get 1 flying lap, if I remember correctly. That will seed the cars in order for the 1st full qualifying heats.

When we have run it before, its pretty much like NASCAR qualifying but fewer hot laps. It will go something like this: get on, trip the loop for your warm up lap and take the green flag next time through the loop. Complete your hot lap and the next car starts its warm up lap as you pull off. We'll cycle the drivers on the stand as well. 1 driver up at a time. Adds to the tension.

We also encourage everyone to stand around the track to watch. I haven't participated before (just helped Eric run it), but folks tell me it can be quite stressful.
