If a competitor crosses the boundary line on a single run, the elapsed time is voided for lane-choice determination. Drivers who run under elapsed time barriers outlined in their category are disqualified even if on a single run.

My interpretation is that if you are in a single run, you cannot run under the index any longer?

The index is not a “barrier.”

To me, this is for Top Dragster/Top Sportsman cars who run quicker than 6.00 on a single and would be DQ’d from the event.
