As much as anything else, anyone who can drive round a track would rather not be in a stock car race, so a separate heat makes sense there.

Marshaling - well yes, the official line is don't crash, but clearly its a bit unfair if some heats have better marshaling so crashing costs less. But then thats kinda the same point as the previous one about getting put in a heat of mobile chicanes.

In the end though, its up to the more 'experienced' members to set the example, cover the marshaling etc. A couple of meetings ago I suggested to Rog we split the top heat drivers to marshal over the bottom 2 heats (heat 1 only had 5 in it, all young lads and didn't need 10 experienced marshals) but almost nobody did as instructed.
