I reckon the home race would be better if the "home person" was told beforehand what kind of like 3-hour window the race would start in. Like "here's your chance to do well at home, so don't screw it up" instead of just giving them bonus points for being lucky to be awake at the right time. Or the host is told by the home person which hours they'd like the race to start in and the host can choose any of them.
