If the beam hight had been the same as the starting line and the tire hops over it, then it doesn't see anything until the back wheels... The Pro Stock Bikes were wheelstanding through the finishline at Maple Grove because of the bumps there.

Also, take a look at the image below. A 3" nose, under braking, is not 3":



So now you'd be taking a whole bunch of cars that consistently take the beam with the nose of the car, and making it so they take it with the wheel, well, except under braking. Then you have the same problem of figuring out what the car is going to take it with again anyway...
