After a period of many years, the software has been developed to correct this glitch.

Why would any racer who values fairness not want to change and make it like the breakout rule (worse infraction loses)????

Maybe we should change the breakout rule to whoever is closer to the dial, whether under or over, wins. C'mon Bill, to much changing, just to be changed.
Why don't we change the feeling we get when our pants are pulled down, we're bent over, and ram rodded with B.S. that we ALL don't want!!!

I am only requesting ONE CHANGE.

What are you talking about with your " C'mon Bill, to (sic) much changing, just to be changed." comment?

Sounds like you haven't been paying much attention... Let me guess; you run a higher class car...

And it's not at all "just to be changing." It's to give EVERYONE the same chance to red light. What's wrong with that?
