Rob, Technically ,the racer is supposed to stage both lights and wait for the green.
However , I've seen what occurred with Larry's run at Eppping several times in the past .Most times it happens because the starter is late activating the tree on the single and the racer is on the converter longer than usual and just lets go.
Unfortunately, the starter has no way of knowing if the racer is just taking the green or going to make a pass.
In larrys case,he told me the air gap closed up on the clutch and drug him thru the lights.
It's happened to me in the past and I have been both tossed out and given the run . It's the starters discretion.
As far as our series goes , I see no reason why the racer cant just turn on the lights and back up.
