Not really, given the fact that most everyone is using blockers nowadays on their helmets and/or sun visors. That distraction is easily eliminated. But that's subjective so worst case scenario, the fast car finally has one "con" to deal with, big deal.

What's the point of this sentence? Everyone builds a fast car to take advantage of a lopsided starting line rule? Or you built a slow car knowing you were being shafted by a lopsided starting line rule? Please specify.

Regardless, if the rule changes how many people are going to trade in their fast car for a slow car to take advantage of this new rule that makes a drag race a tad more fair for both competitors? None. Everyone loves to chase and anyone who says otherwise is yanking your crankshaft.

Starting line rules that benefit faster cars: No deep staging, first red light loses, and crosstalk in the bracket super classes (what a joke).

Starting line rules that benefit slower cars:
