Smile Re: perfect reason to get tree fixed

So a race that is over on the starting line is still run to the finish line.OK.When they get to the stripe neither guy knows it's a done deal already and one of the knuckleheads locks
the brakes up to make it close.Now you have a bad situation for no good reason.
Run a few scenarios through your head before you post suggestions for change.

As a bracket and class racer, I'm on my brakes almost every round bringing the other car in closer, if you aren't, you are not doing your job. So what's your point?

First let me say that I have nothing to gain if the tree's software changes, it's a change to make each racer have to take the chance at the tree. No free rides on either side of the tree. The change would have to have true win lights so that neither racers knows if the other fouled, making it a race to the finish line.

The INSTANT the second car leaves the line THE WIN LIGHT COMES on ....in the lane with the least infraction on the redlight.....

Uhh Mr. Doesn't Race At All,No where in this thread ,except in your post,has the scenario come up that the win light would come up after the second car leaves the line.In Casey's
world he said BOTH cars would race to the finish line and they would only know who won when they crossed the stripe.
So go out your back door and shoot a couple of crows,cook them and eat them.
It must be terrible to grow old and need the feeling to be included in the gang at any cost.

Hmmm, Makes you wonder who's voting on what, doesn't it, Ed ?
