It would seem that way, but his opponent got the win light. He was told it was up to the computer and since he was the slower car he lost.

The opponent left first with a red. He should have lost. It must be because he was driving a Camaro.

"First or Worst" rule should apply...regardless of the amount of lanes run...I'm sure this
situation has come up for discussion before....

As Lew said earlier, this "4-wide" stuff isn't something new. I've never seen a 4-lane
race in person, but have looked at archival photos from the '60's...places like Detroit
Dragway, Fresno, and York US-30 tried this type of racing...and perhaps many others...

That sounds like a timing system programming error. The computer should have realized which beam was tripped first.
