I believe it not to be a super 1 driver thing but can understand why super 1 drivers will be involved.

In any club meeting or last year in super 1 the grids tend to be mixed up and done on time of entry, this means you have a mix of fast experienced drivers and relative newcomers developing and gaining experience all over the grid.
When these are mixed in together in such a large grid with less experinced drivers at the front theres bound to be incidents as we saw at whilton and at clay beginning of last year, some down to drivers just trying to get through faster than others. However I also do believe some drivers are over impatient and try and win the race on the first corner and thats a seperate issue.

I often found when racing myself that a driver whop is a second or so off the pace was often harder to overtake than someone who was a tenth off as they are less predictable and tend to move across unexpectadly or get a slide on when you least expect it.

I'm starting to think that all club meetings need to adopt the format of timed qualifying then start the heats from where you qualified scenario as the general theory is that it prodcues less crashing but tends not to be as exciting.

Just my views anyway.
