Agree with Butch Pletcher, 20 minutes is adequate time to ready a sprint for the feature. In 1986 while racing with URC, Mike Auer driving, we qualified for feature in the consi. A short intermission, URC feature next. We were using same tires and gears, so basically had to fuel up, and air tires. Only problem was, during the consi the brake pads got tossed from the inboard rear brake (we only ran LR and LF brake), an occasional issue in the early days of inboard brakes. While I took care of problem  in record time, Mike got into seat and buckled up, Dad fueled up, and I completed repair in front of a large crowd. I bled brakes as most of the feature field had already pushed off.
