So he's saying that if he had been late, then it would've been a re-run? How late would be late enough to warrant a re-run, then? If the top bulb had worked, would he have been red, the same, or later? There is no way to answer that question.
Of course the opposite argument can be made: Had he won the round, would he still have wanted a re-run?
In my opinion, the answer to the re-run question should be the same regardless of who was involved or what the outcome of the race was. The tree malfunctioned, the race should be re-run. Somebody's going to be mad, regardless of how it plays out.
I had a deal at a local bracket race where they had CrossTalk on for Footbrake by mistake. I was the faster car, and got the crosstalk tree. I was late, but still won the round. They made us re-run, even though the winning car was the only one affected by the crosstalk. In retrospect, they did the right thing, because who's to say I wouldn't have been red if the tree had come down correctly?
