The actual firing of the cars is pretty quick at a place like TSS because you can cut through the infield to pick up the next car. Most tracks don't have that option. What takes time is for the four wheelers pushing all the cars from the pits to the track then getting all the crews and four wheelers off the track and back to the pits before you start pushing. Additionally... when someone is slow getting to the track to stage it holds everyone up.
We have timed it at several tracks and believe it or not it usually takes about 15-20 minutes longer to push all the cars to the track, stage them, get the crews off then fire them than it does to just fire them off from the push lane. If time is an issue, this is not a time saver.
It all depends on your motivation and time constraints. I understand doing it for a special event where you are doing driver intros, but it is definitely not the quickest way to keep your show moving along.
