Actually it dial in racing it is not always who crossed the finish line 1st. if you are 1st across line but break out or break out by more you lose

It completely removes the danger from trying to be perfect. Under the current system, there is a lot of risk in setting up tight. Everyone finds their own risk/reward balance.

It completely takes being a good driver out of the dragracing concept

I understand. But it removes the "race" part of it, the finish line skill and strategies, the chase, the game of taking the stripe or not, and staying green and not breaking out. Even in the pro tree .90 classes, that's drag racing. Who would be in favor of that? Want to do that? Some places run a best package round in time trails, with breakout and red lights enforced. But that's not racing.

What’s next idea? Participation Trophies and everyone goes home a ‘winner’? LMAO

Maybe we could just each do it from our home track and email in the results, that way we wouldn't even need to travel to the event. Or better yet just stay home and do it like a video game?

I agree with Keith944. I want to RACE the person next to me- not make it a glorified run for the money event. If I earned .02 at the tree, I want to try and use it at the stripe. It does not seem like true competition, where is the skill and art of finish line driving, where is the stagedy? I'll pass.
