They rotate between 4 cars per group but they're out there all day, so the crappy all-seasons tires are basically shot. If you're the fastest in your group, you get to stay extra 40 minutes to race against other groups' winners, where you can actually launch but the rest are still the same. It's a good time killer, but don't expect too much.

I've been to three of these before. I keep my expectations based on the cost of the event...free. If I had to pay for the event then yes, I would have the gripes you presented.
And it depends on how fast you go in reference to "beating" on the car. On one of my practice runs, I had to slow down halfway into my run because I caught up to the driver who was put on the course ahead of me.
