Well this has been a bug for a long time, here in nz we run the sd2 system, great for simple fast racing.
one issue the is becoming more noticeable,
car 1 has a better rt and et
car 2 has a slower rt and et
car 2 is awarded the win.
In most instances it is almost impossible to say who got to the line first by eye sight..
Some of the guys think its because car 2 is faster at the finish line, ie better mph at the finish.
Im not so sure.
To me heads up racing is all about et, who gets there first wins and usually means your et was better than the other car, the only way you can lose if your rt was slow and the other car crossed the line first.
I dont think rt has anything to do with et as et starts when you clear the start beam and stops when you cross the finish line.
rt starts when the light goes green, it can be either - or + depending on whether the car clears the light beam early or late.
So with all that said car 1 was better off the start than car 2 i dont think the time difference matters, car 1 got down the track quicker due to a faster et than car 2, by going faster in time the car must be faster than the opponent over the given distance, the difference in mph at track end i dont think has any relevance to et.
Looking for a definitive answer to this issue. if someone knows the answer to this and is in written form, from a good known source, please post, cheers.
