My point is - if they want to mirror our sport off of others, let's use the
eqipment they use. Yes cars have emergency brakes, but how will your
reaction time be on the new lights reaching for the e-brake and not being
DSQ for having a reaction time greater than .999
Just think pros and cons

If each car has emergency brakes, then why not use those? I have yet to be
at a location where the slope was so bad that the parking brake would not
hold me.
As for the 'Pro' tree... hmm, never tried it. The only issue I have with
it, is that if I wanted to go practice, I don't know if my local drag strip
would turn them on for me. As far as I know they use a typical
yellow-yellow-yellow-green start. Makes it tough to learn a new system.
But I do think it would be fun to use the Pro tree in the next Bonus
challenge.... It would certainly be fun to watch!
