Mike,
I am with you on the yellow, drivers need to be smart. Guys/gals who race want to get up to speed asap and this is part of practice for them. In a sprint race, the start usually determines the race and rolling starts hardly warm up the tires. Expect in the upper groups guys that start fast are most likely comfortable with leaning on their car immediately. Students should be listening to their instructors so yellow is should not make a difference.
One suggestion would be a lunchtime lead follow for students at low speed corner with and instructor leading, one at the tail in groups of say 10 cars. This LOW speed and it helps install the line into their heads. Speed should be slow enough not to use the brakes.
