TIme each corral goes off?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I didn't see it here or on FB.

Is there a general idea what time each corral will be going off? I am close to the back of the pack and want to try and time it a bit better this year since I will be in a corral by myself.

Purely speculating I expect the final instructions will allow 2 minutes for the first 4 corrals and 3 minutes on the next few and then expanding in time up to 6-7 minutes for the last few.

In actual practice, I believe that the times will be flex times, giving about 60-90 seconds between the last runner in the previous corral and the corral start. Of that dwell between corrals is the need to push the next corral into the gate and to reset the fireworks charge for that corral's start. Anyway, that is what I saw in the ToT an W&D - the starts were published but varied by time the corral actually took to cross.

I would expect the last runner to cross in the 6:20-6:30 range.
