So if the first guy bulbs with a .340 and you see it and make the dumb mistake of running a .330 light then the first guy wins?? You would have to change all bracket racing as we know it. No one said that this was absolutely fair. In Protree handicap .400 the first guy has an advantage. In .500 tree the last guy has the advantage.

Some people build machines specifically for the rules. How about 170 mph S/C cars with throttle stops? Now that looks dumb.
