One other option would be to borrow the typical kart/micro sprint format and run two rounds of heat races. The first round is lined straight up by pill draw, with the second round inverted off the draw. Then use total passing points from both rounds. This way, a driver who draws a high pill number gets to start the second race up front, plus they have the opportunity to pick up passing points from the first race.

This, of course, would take time, but so does time trials.
