Headsup Stk Elim Round Breakout?

JUST FOR THE RECORD (I want to make sure ~I~ have this straight!)

A/SA car dials 10.50
B/SA car also dials 10.50

Identical reaction time, not that it matters (it doesn't)

A/SA car runs 10.4999 breaking out while
B/SA car runs 10.5001 winning the race, because he didn't break out

Is that correct, and if it IS, shouldn't it be pointed out that, although the two cars are leaving the starting line at the exact same time, it's NOT REALLY a "heads-up race" because it's a possible breakout situation??? (Traditionally, in a "heads-up" race, the first car to the finish line ALWAYS wins, barring other infractions.)
