As Jeff said you have a valid point when a class race happens in s/ss. One car could potentially have a .02 advantage over the other car. guess if you want to be the baddest guy on the block you better look at at the car you pick to do it with. again one of those detail things you have to pay attention to when you pick a combo..

In every other situation who cares what takes the stripe. for all I care you could put a 25 foot pole on the front of your car to take the stripe 25 feet in front of your tire. If I'm doing my job i will see this 25 foot pole and think to myself, "Hey self, i need to get in front of that 25 foot pole on his car." I will also know on my car what takes the stripe. so I know which part of my car I have to get in front of this 25 foot pole. You will have made at least 3 time runs with this pole on your car so you will know what to dial the car. We will both stage with our tires and If you were to take a photo of the finish my car would have to be in front of your 25 foot pole for me to win....

The way you think about this situation makes no sense to me. It's not like all of a sudden on a pass you decided to put this 25 foot pole on your car and expect to run the same ET. You're obviously going to be faster. You would have then had to dial for it thus making the fact that your car has this 25 foot pole completely irrelevant... If you don't dial for it you will break out.

Back to our real life example of justin and plourd. Justin's dial was to take the stripe with the nose. Plourd's was to take the stripe with the tire. If Plourd's dial was to take the stripe with his nose his nose would have been in the exact same place a his tire actually was in the pic. Justin would have known he needed to race nose to nose not nose to tire...

The details are what makes all the driver's involved great drivers. If i had to guess the driver's on the track knew exactly what happen and would never have and never will bit*ch about the outcome...

Sorry if i didn't say good job to Plourd and Justin before none of my post are saying anything negative about you guys just the posters complainin about the situation.
