heads up starts. with todays electronic timing systems, both cars pick their dial. both cars leave heads up and the car with the best package gets the win light. no finish line racing.
this would make the racing safer, no 8 second car going by a 13 second car at the finish line and no reason to kill the brakes at the finish line.
of course all of the good racers, who are very good at finish line racing will never go for it.
remember dial in racing started when there were no reaction timers and hand written time cards.
