Kinda reminds me of PINKS All Out. In a best out of 3 final, one guy gets there first, but loses the round because he "ran too fast". I've heard they give these guys as much as .10 or .20 breakout to work with. If the guy makes one lap that's .20 quicker than what he got in the show with, and his opponent has *actually* been running his car all out the whole time... umm... isn't it kind of ridiculous to just DQ the one run that was .20 "too fast", and then line them up again thinking that the slower car has any real shot? The only challenge for the fast guy is figuring out how to cover his opponent just enough to hide his tremendous performance advantage (which had ALREADY been displayed!) .... Sound familiar?

They have non-AHFS races... they're called S/SS Combos... (and if I understand things right, haven't "Altitude" races been this way, for all intents and purposes?)
