So ...you run your car within 1 tenth of flat out in TT... Then you have that tenth in the bank for a heads- up runs .. correct ?...Interesting

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.

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?
