Maybe there should be a rerun anytime somebody redlights?

You can't win a race that never started. You can advance to the next round on a single.

To win you gotta beat someone in a race. A race starts when the clocks start in BOTH lanes.

If the racer in the other lane is tossed for doing a burnout passed the starting line, and you're given a single. You didn't win the race, you advanced to the next round on a technicality. It's the equivalent as if the racer in the other lane breaks in the water box, you're given an opponent broke single. Hypothetically, if either of these examples occurred in the final round, you'd win the event on an opponent broke single, or a technicality.

I could care less, BUT you want the rules to make sense.

If the rules don't make sense, they're arbitrary mutating into communism.

It's in everyone's best interests, the rules aren't arbitrary.
