There is nothing inherently dangerous in a line finish accomplished by
skillful pilots exercising good judgement. There IS unbounded risk in
any maneuver attempted by pilots who take the environment too lightly.

So, let's take a few minutes off the pilot's elapsed time for a low pass.
A few more off for a low pass with an aileron roll on the upline.
Still more for an inverted low pass.
I'm sure we could come up with a graded series of maneuvers, that could all
be accomplished by skillful pilots exercising good judgement. Judges could
add time for sloppy execution.
Just think of the additional entertainment for spectators!

If you don't want to improve your skills, why compete? That's the point
snippage hath occurred

Or it might be a case of: what skills, exactly, do we want to compare when
we race?
