ok here is why i say its not fair...
at the dirt dawgs last race, a car was flaming out a bunch... his pit guy had a starter box on the turn BEFORE the timing loop.... lets say for extreme example that he flamed out shortly after the loop... got ran back to BEFORE the start loop, got refired and took off over the loop again. potentially he never lost any time and maybe improved his position... anyone else that would have gotten restarted at pit lane would loose alomost a lap and a 1/2 for time to run the car back and RERUN the whole track before crossing the loop again since the loop was BEFORE the pit entrance.
it may not be in a rule book, but some tracks have it posted like hardestys. its is to be fair.
