Uh, in a sense, that's what they do.
However....
There is more than one two-driver car.
And the problem is less the spacing from driver #1 to #2 as it is back from
#2 to #1 the way you suggest.
Ideal is #1s go first, #2s go about the middle of the heat.
In a 40-car heat with 10 2-driver cars scattered through it (that's 20 of
the 40 drivers), not as easy as it looks on paper.
IMHO, this should not be looked upon as a problem needing to be fixed,
rather it is a common situation that just needs to be dealt with as fairly
as possible. And since the situation is always variable (6 co-drivers this
heat, 15 the next, etc.), then the solutions are also always variable and
must reflect the immediate situation.
This year Sandi Brown-Wood (Nationals Chair) really wanted as much as was
possible to have entire classes running together. Not too hard to get both
co-drivers out within the context of a 40-car class. Impossible to get
co-drivers out within the class when they are in a 3-car Ladies class.
