Just to muck this up, if both cars cross the center line, should the first car over be DQ'd or the car that crosses the line by the greatest distance? Do we need hash marks crossing the track to verify this??

Last season I left last in Sportsman and first in Pro. I had red lights and 0.000 lights on each side of the equation. Makes me neutral on the fast/slow issue, which seems to be some sort of *ick measuring contest here.
Dale,
Tru-Start comes into play when the slower car goes red, because it prevents the timing system from indicating a red light for the slower car.

If both competitors cross the center line, my understanding is they are both DQ'd.
