Their set up sucked. You could see KJ didnt move before the red came on, but it looked to me like Vinnie did, and might have been red, himself.

The guard beam caught him. At National events ONLY there is a third beam and it is out past the stage beam. If anything on the car goes into the guard beam before the car clears the stage beam, it will cause a redlight. Kurt admitted the 60 ft was wrong.

Graham screwed up by talking about things other than the guard beam. It made him look like he was not sure what happened. All Graham needed to say was the guard beam caught Kurt and that would have been the end of the conversation.

The 60' was messed up because the timers started and the car wasn't moving. Vinnie did go red, Kurt never moved until after Vinnie. In my opinion there should not have been a rerun, Kurt should have been declared the winner. Glitch in the system, yes, Vinnie still clearly left first and went red.

I agree. Kurt Did not move first. Vinnie did. Very clear. Kurt said his car was 1/8" high. Something blow through the guard beam? Who knows. Kurt should have been declared the winner.
