Used only in handicap racing, the term breakout refers to a contestant running more quickly than he or she "dialed-in" his or her vehicle (i.e. predicted how quickly it would run). Unless his or her opponent commits a more serious infringement (e.g. runs a red light, crosses the centreline, or fails a post-race inspection), the driver who breaks out, loses. If both drivers break out, the one who runs closest to his or her dial-in is the winner.
