Well, I thought I had said all I was going to on this subject but I unfortunately read the last several
posts and decided I would say one or two more things.

#1. If you ain't been there you got no right to try to change things.

#2. The guy sitting there waiting on the slower car is not going to have the same light he/she
would have had if they see the red light before they react. It distracts you unless
you are using a blinder and most don't for their on reasons. Been there ,done that too many
times.

I have been there, so I guess that gives me the right to post on it.

S.E., neither driver will see a red light until after BOTH CARS have left the line.

A red light will mean "you lose," and the computer won't know who has "lost" until it compares both lights. It has no way to know whether the second car to leave will have had a worse red light than the first (and thereby become the loser) until he leaves the line, so there's NO WAY this system will affect the concentration of the faster car's driver. He will always assume the other car had a green light until he's left the line and sees a red, if there IS one.

He will see what he's always seen if the first car to leave had a good green light. NO additional distraction....

I can't see a downside to this.... really.
