Jerry,
I think that scenario falls under the current "First or Worst" heading. With 2 red lites not being the worst. The first car going out of bounds of it's assigned lane being the worst.
What happens if the guy in the left lane (faster car) looses it and rolls over into your lane and you swerve into his lane to avoid a crash? Who is out, who is in and does your run count?

Trick question the slower car would have left first so he would be ahead of the wreck. But in your senario I would think the slow car would get the win as he was making a evasive move.

It happened to me in Qualifying. I was the slower car. IHRA tossed both runs, mine and his. Lucky for me it was my first qualifying pass and there were 2 more. I wonder if it has ever happened in eleminations to anyone?

There again I would think the "first or worst" rule would apply. The first car to go out of bounds is out? Jim

one rule i seen done at the Sports Nats and i hope it starts getting used was the "Who run's first in SS or Stock" rule as they made the last 4 qualifiers and who ever they was paired up with in Rd 1 run first. I will make a point to send a e-mail to all division directors and tell them this is a good deal and might speed things up on getting cars going after they are paired up and nobody wants to move to be the first couple of pairs.
32 car field:
16 vs 32
15 vs 31
14 vs 30
13 vs 29
This would be first 4 pairs

Joe:
You could call it the "bottom feeders" or "sand baggers" rule.

We all know who they are.
