before the light turns green, he/she is automatically red-lighted and disqualified for that round unless the opponent commits a more serious violation (crossing a track boundary line, timing block, or touching the barrier). Depending on the Tree being used, either the first car to redlight, or as used in most national events with TruStart, the driver who has a worse red-light foul, is provisionally disqualified. The slower car, in the traditional system, which will be leaving the line first, has the disadvantage of being dead in the water if he red lights, even if his faster opponent redlights by a larger margin, which is why the TruStart system was developed to negate that problem. Sometimes, people incorrectly refer "reaction time" to the unrelated 60 foot takeoff time. The reaction time is merely an indication of how fast a driver reacted compared to when the green light came on. The 60 foot takeoff time is an indicator of how fast the vehicle started moving at the beginning of the race, regardless of the driver’s reaction time. If the driver launched the car with too much power for the available traction, he will have wheelspin and correspondingly will have a longer time to cross the 60 foot barrier if he were to drive with more finesse. Breaking out Breaking out is when a racer manages to cross the finish line in less time than the one he dialed-in beforehand. If only one car "breaks out", it is disqualified and the other one wins by default. If both cars break out, the one closer to the dial-in time wins. A foul start, crossing the boundary line or wall, or failure to be at post-race inspection override any breaking out violations. Not all bracket racing classes have breaking out (NHRA Competition Eliminator). Based on a driver's competition licence or a chassis certification, an absolute limit may be imposed. A car going faster than the absolute limit may be automatically disqualified. Absolute Breakout An absolute breakout is imposed based on the licensing of the vehicle and/or the driver. Depending on class, a driver may be given one warning, but in most cases they are immediately disqualified. Violations involving absolute breakout include: A car goes faster than the legal certification limit of the chassis. Examples include: A dragster that is not certified for Top Alcohol Dragster is faster than 5.99 seconds required for Top Alcohol Dragster
