It has no way to know whether the second car to leave will have had a worse red light than the first (and thereby become the loser) until he leaves the line, so there's NO WAY this system will affect the concentration of the faster car's driver. He will always assume the other car had a green light until he's left the line and sees a red, if there IS one.

He will see what he's always seen when the first car to leave had a good green light. NO additional distraction...."

That is the way I've been told the software works.

Nothing else would be acceptable; you absolutely CANNOT have a red light coming on and distracting a driver who hasn't left, yet! Nobody should EVER have to put up with that!!!

Thanks for your thoughts, Gary.

Yeah Bill, I noticed that after I posted my (your thoughts, in my) comments....I'm glad we agree on this one, and I hope that the Stock/Super Stock rep will present this thought to the next meeting they have because I think (like you), that it should be the same as a breakout run between the faster/slower vehicles.
