A piece of safety equipment for racing might have the opposite effect in a DE. Your window net is required in racing but if it leads to ambiguous pass signals in DE it is having the opposite effect on safety. I ran the Schattenbaum event late last fall and the ambiguity of pass signal was astounding by RTR standards. I honestly was unsure on several occasions whether I was getting a signal or not, which leads initially to "I guess I can't pass" and later to "WTF, I'm passing!" Clarity and simplicity are major virtues, in life and in DE.
