Do it the new fashioned way. The person who crosses the line first wins. PERIOD! The Boxing ring is in the infield. The victory celebration or Contestation is given there. The legitamate contester can show up for a three round bout. If he wins, He wins. If the winner of the race wins. He gets both purses!
Chuck, kinda joking but some things are way too iffy for a body to make a decision.

How far back in the race do you make this "Judgement" call.
Personally I feel these sanctioning bodies and officials are walking a slippery slope in deciding the outcome of races by making "Judgement" calls.
I lived the quarter midget way of "judging" a race and sadly (at least in my mind) I see this creeping (in some cases stampeding) into the professional arena and just like Saturday night the same situation can be scene (depending on vantage points) in several different ways.
I guess more then just this one circumstance I wonder what the thoughts are concerning this trend as a whole by both the competitors, Officials and Fans.
