Never....
Can you logically justify a system that unecessarily removes your opponent from jeopardy (red light variety) just because you left early? You have deprived him of his chance to red light.
He has no way to return the favor... Nothing he can do will remove you from the jeopardy of a red light.
Do you think you'd still see this situation as a "non-problem" if that were the case?
Does that seem fair to you?

Bill,
I'm wounded but not dead.
I have been in the slow shoes when I raced a slant six Valiant. When I say it's a non-problem I'm looking at the frequency of such situations. Is this such a big problem that it needs fixing? If so then use the blinders, which won't work at night because the glare will tell the other guy what color your lights are.
If this is a big problem then let's lobby for a change, but what will the NHRA say ....."It's not a big problem".
Just trying to be practical,
JimR
