Yeah, I've had two weeknight crit races put me a lap or laps down despite being off the back but not lapped. I wasn't 1st, and the result doesn't matter.
The promoter has enough to do at the crit, but he should make the results available 15 minutes after the race. I find it annoying, still. At that point, you look at it, tell the guy, he makes a note, and it's done. If I were to do it the next day, it's a minimum of 3 emails.
