Having run the clocks at my local track for 8-9 years, I know for a fact that there is a compensation factor. If I remember correctly, I think that this factor is adjustable on a class by class basis and has nothing to do with the bikes red lighting. I think it is the reason that Chris described.

In any case, the effect is a .370 tree because from what I have seen, the compensation factor is set at 030. Since this can vary from race to race and track to track, it is likely that we will not see it consistently across all racing series (i.e. local programs, nationals, divisionals, etc.).

Add to this that the track has to have the proper version of the compulink software that has this feature. Some tracks my not have the most recent versions so they cannot add in a compensation factor to the tree even if they wanted too.

At the NHRA division level and national level I want to see this compensation factor eliminated. I would think that tracks that host these events will have the LED bulbs by now so we should have consistency at all of those races.
