If fairness is being sought using the T-S system, why does the slower car, in the last instance, get a second chance to win the round and the faster car doesn't (he's immediately DQd)? Sounds like the for-sure DQ is shifted to the faster car in a handicap race.

Don, I have to admit that this another new wrinkle that I haven't heard before.
I would say that the answer is that this is just one of the concessions we have to make in handicap racing.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to run the A, AA ,or factory cars heads up , I wouldn't think.
Using your example, the same could be said about the finish line. If the slow car crosses first, and breaks out 2 hun, then technically he lost ..for a split second. But then the fast car crosses and breaks out 4 hun. Did the slow car get a second chance ? Depends on how much one wants to torture this argument.
I say that it's just the nature of handicap racing.

Also curious if your reasoning is based on the above mentioned premise.
