Default Time between heats

Stu has it a bit wrong. Last time out it was as he said due to race settings on the laptop. The time between heats started when the 5 min was up so the people who started last (up to 15secs) had to finish their race. hence the shortened gap.
This weekend worked better with a different setting and the gap started after the last car finished its race, even with 1min 30sec gap there were still delays.
The reason, some people stopped racing thinking they had finished. The computer then waits the 50sec time out setting. I only noticed this a few times and blame our PA system for not being clear enough in that hall.
