Let's take this one item at a time; to try to answer it any other way is to invite confusion, even chaos, into this otherwise well-ordered and fraught with logical thought, discussion...
1. "Wow I just (thought I) knocked the tree down,only to find out 330 feet later I bulbed ! Am I missing something here??"
Yes. What you are missing is the FACT that, under the current rules, when you bulbed, you LOST THE RACE.
Instantly. Go HOME!
HOWEVER......
With the "dual red-light" system, it is a distinct POSSIBILITY that while you're driving that 330 feet, the second car may have BULBED WORSE THAN YOU!!! YOU WIN this round; do not go home!!!
2. "So, now, the advantge goes where?"
It goes to YOU, because you didn't get eliminated by a (current system) system that deprived the 2nd car to leave of HIS chance to redlight. HE goes home; YOU are still "IN."
3. "Now I feel like crap run over twice"
WHY??? YOU just won the round; a round you would have lost under the current, antiquated-electronics system.
No; you feel like going another round... and you CAN, because YOU WON... even though you bulbed... first!
Is that not something you'd like to see happen??????
