Hey, Dad...

Would you think that disqualifying both cars in a race in which they both broke out would be a good idea?

If you're going to deal with a double red light by disqualifying both cars, to be consistent, you'd have to do the same in a double breakout situation.

What do you think?

And, having eliminated 4 cars (two double red lights and two double breakouts) what would you do for a winner in the Eliminator, if that happened in the last two rounds of racing?

All I see for that plan is unnecessary complication, where eliminating ONLY the worse offender in each case, keeps things fair and introduces NO more complication.

How about it, Dad?
