What, precisely, is a "clean tree"?

Is that the same thing as a "clean finish line"?

the clean tree would be that the slower car doesn't have to block out the distraction of the other car's lights coming down (some trees have dividers, some do not). You also don't see the other car leave out of your peripheral vision.

Oh, now I understand. You mean, sort of like the recent win that Keith Lynch had over Slate Cummings: Lynch dialed at 10.28 and Cummings at 10.69.

Yes, obviously Cummings had this "clean tree".

well ignoring all your "spin" on that, yes that's what I am talking about. It's not a guaranteed win, but neither is gambling that your opponent goes red before you do. And finish line shenanigans can be played from both sides, fast or slow.

Keith drove an excellent race, and beat a very tough competitor. I would say that the outcome of that race would have the same probability for that outcome if Keith was in the slower car.
