With more Enduros changing to the "restart format," I think that drawing a row by lottery will add back the "unknown" element to the game. I, for one, really enjoyed the aspect of Enduro that made you think (that'd be TIMEKEEPING, kids), and liked the game between the rider and the promoter about creative check placement. That always led to some fun discussions! To paraphrase a somewhat famous quote about winning enduros: "It's not always the fastest rider that wins, sometimes it's the smartest rider that wins."
