I'll throw in my vote to get things started.

Somtimes when racing but far more from years on the announcing deck, I've seen many a race where the quicker car had the worst red light and won, and wondered why,,,,,, I KNOW why, but wondered still.

I've seen a few races over the years where a M or N car goes red and B or C cars go far worse on the red side and wondered if they were red because they already knew,,,,, but I've also seen FAR more runs where B runs a C or a G runs an H and both go red milliseconds from one another, yet the first car always gets to pack it up early, even if the second was the worse of the two. And it happens far more between close cars then it does those with a large disparity in dials.

As times change, so does technology, with technology available to handle this type of situation, why NOT use it. Others have pointed out the change that happened with breakouts, from first to worst. Why not with the reds too.

Hasn't the object always been to run the BEST race you can in YOUR lane, and if the other guy beats you, it was because he was BETTER than you in that particular race? Where is this any different?
