If a car drops out of place during the pace lap(s), all cars that were behind it in the
column (left or right) advance a place to fill the gap. This is not a pass under yellow.

Thank you for putting together these guides.
In reading the PDA I noted the following:If a car drops out of place during the pace lap(s), all cars that were behind it in the
column (left or right) advance a place to fill the gap. This is not a pass under yellow.
This rule as written I believe provides an unfair advantage to the cars allowed to move forward.
As an example in the last race I did I was in P2 on the pace lap in and the pole sitter spun warming his tires. Using this rule the 3rd place car would slot into P1 and everyone else in that column would also move forward. This seems wrong especially when the cars are as as closely matched as we are. Doing a full row shift forward affects everyone in the column that doesn't move up by dropping them down 1 position. I would think the 1 car length gap would be preserved and no one should move.
Steve Pence if you are reading this, perhaps this should be discussed during drivers meetings.
