Finish Line Beam Height

The starting line beam height is 2" to the top of the beam, and the beam is 1/4" diameter.

In my experience, these are rare events. The number of races that are that close and the number of times in which it's questioned what part of the nose or tire tripped the beam is quite rare. In a stocker you really have to nail the brakes at the right moment to get the nose to dive that far. Changing the finish line beams would create many more problems than it solves.

As Mike said (with is rotor on fire) under braking even a supergas car drops considerably. You probably couldn't go low enough to solve the problem.
