Sounds like the track owner is an idiot if he can't handle a simple matter like that. This is not a unique problem... many tracks have had trouble with marshals. The way you fix it, is to punish the individual who is slaking. Disqualify that run, or his best run... something to that effect.

Sounds like the nitro guys are a bunch of tools too.

Having said that, it's pretty sad that the electric guys are known for this and apparently think it's justified somehow. I would try to ask if you can get like 30 seconds after you come of the stand, before you have to be on the track to marshal... just enough time to plug in the battery and hit the start button. It's takes that long for the nitros to get warmed up anyway. And if it's an electric race up next, tell them to keep it off the pipe for the first practice lap.

Banning the electric racers is just STUPID! wtf is he thinking??!! That's like WalMart telling all the old ladies they are too slow at the checkout so they can't shop there for a month. huh????
