Jeff, Not sure you are reading it like I am.

Here's what I see:

One A/SA goes 10.60
Another one goes 10.50.
They meet..The dial-in is 10.40.
The slower one goes 10.50 ,with a good light.
The other one goes 10.39. He loses.
Brake (break) -out in effect.

Probably to discourage heavy braking at the stripe and sandbagging during qualifying.

My recollections of the dark, dim past of Stock racing suggest that there was once a time when the dial-in for every car was the national record BUT we were allowed to run a dime under the record without breaking out. I'll bet that Mark remembers those days (unless the whole scenario was the result of that extra shot of Jack from last night). It may seem to be an archaic methodology but we had some good racing without all the drama of 1000' shutoffs, packing in extra weight, and sandbagging the ladder.

Much better racing back then. Hardly ever saw a break out, ditto brake lights.

Sounds like a "no-sandbagging during qualifying" rule to me.
I also see it being confusing to some racers.

It might somewhat alter the qualifying strategy for some racers, or then again it may not.

Will the fastest in class still qualify using full throttle knowing he has everyone else covered, and that there is no way he would run 1 tenth quicker during eliminations so therefore he can run flat out during eliminations ( in a same class pairing) and not worry about breaking out ?
I say probably.

That's the way I see it

Why not just run heads up with no breakout?
