One of the cool features of a "Break Out" Class is when a group of racers gets better, and wants to go FASTER, you simply change the MIN LAP break out time in the computer, and turn up your radio throttle - No $$$ to spend in most cases.

It's a fun way to restrict (mainly Newbies, and guys who race FOR FUN vs. an ultra competitive guy - but I've seen plenty of the ultra competitive guys LOVE breakout as well, because it's the challenge of turning PERFECT lap times - and really works on guys becoming consistant.)

W/ most scoring programs - if you set the MIN (Breakout) Lap time, and a car goes faster, that lap doesn't score, and the time is added to the next lap.

ie: a 15.00 second break out lap, if a car runs 14.99 followed by a 15.02 it scores ONE lap as a 30.01, or if he PULLS the trigger and runs TWO back to back 12.50's, it would show as ONE 25.00 second lap.
