I have NO IDEA in what context you say, "the quicker car gets the benefit."

No one is arguing that.

Yes, the "quicker car gets the benefit," and that's the problem. There's NO REASON that a quicker car should get ANY benefit from the red light system.

Who told you they should, and how can something like that be justified???

I'd like to know what your thinking is, on this.

Tell me, please, why ANY car should derive a benefit from the starting/red light system. Wouldn't you say that ideally, it should be the same for everyone?

Please..... and tell me, too, what brought you to such a conclusion.

Like I said. Sorry you don't like the answer.

Big picture: Racing (in general - I don't care if it's rubber duckies in a tub) is about being quicker than the next guy. Handicap racing eliminates most of that. One thing that's left is that in a drag race that is handicapped, either through class racing or bracket racing, the quicker car gets the benefit of the "first red-light loses" rule.

Just because you hate the reason, doesn't make it NOT the reason.
