Sam,
As you correctly assumed, an HSRP router will not promote itself until it receives a packet from it's neighbor with a LOWER priority than its own. See the inline explanation I provided.

        Subject: HSRP question
        
        

        Can someone clarify how HSRP works when I am tracking a serial interface.
        
        Specifically if a tracked serial interface goes down, does HSRP wait for the
        next hello packet with its lowered priority to go out (based on the hello
        timer)?
        
        Or does it do send out the hello packet immediately?
