We didn't have any other way to have a handicap start....
We have come a long way in the last 50 years...so why not take the final step and fix rule by making it just like ALL of the other rules in drag racing "first or worst"

Bob ,
A little before my time, but what do you suppose would have happened if both cars jumped the flag and they couldn't decide who jumped first...
So , the track gave the win to the faster car...just because, well , you're supposed to get a special break if you go "fast".
