You'll find that the smarter drivers do that already, or at least come to
a stop in the grass offtrack.  It's the Yay-hoos who dive out of moving
cars.

POP - the race _is_ over for you once you cross the start-finish line.
Incidents won't be recorded for you once you've completed the race.

Once you've gotten the checkered flag, please have the courtesy to move
your car away from the start-finish line, so people who are still racing to
the line can complete their race without obstruction.   If your car gets
bumped after you've cleared the S/F line, the incidents won't show up on
your driving record.
