I think to eliminate fan confusion would be just to extend the tree divider down over the red lights so the fast driver can't see that the slow driver red lit. The true lights come on but no win lights can illuminate until both drivers have left the starting line. The only problem would be driver's with two way radios and spotters.
Other than that, this issue is not even debatable. In 6 years of being on classracer I haven't seen one logical argument as to why this shouldn't be fixed. It just took some big name racers to get it in motion. And for those that say both racers should lose when they red light, that is not how a competition works. Must be one winner and one loser. Both teams can't lose the football game tomorrow, or any other sport for that matter.
