This is copied from my worse redlight option message thread. A FEW racers need more reading comprehension. LOL!
==================================================
With the worse redlight program, racers running in handicap categories get a full countdown of one amber at the time until the green light comes on. This will happen REGARDLESS of any single or dual foul starts. Both green lights will display on each run and if there is a foul infraction, the redlight displays in that lane to indicate that the driver has been disqualified. The redlight will not display until the timing system has determined the first and/or worse redlight infraction.
If the first driver has a 0.496 and the second driver's reaction is less, the redlight displays at this time for the second driver and the win light displays in the first driver's lane.
**************************************************
If the second driver's reaction is 0.496, the RUN IS OFFICIAL and the race to the finish is on. The fairest start has been accomplished.
(This means if the racers have identical foul start reactions, there hasn't been any minor infractions.)
*************************************************
When and if the reaction timer for the second driver reads 0.497, the redlight displays for the first driver and the win light is displayed in the second driver's lane. This sequence is NECESSARY because the system can't wait for the second car to leave the stage lights. If the second car broke, or the engine shut off, the first car with a foul start could cross the finish line with the opponent still in the stage lights.
==================================================
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify this misconception again.
