I agree withMr. Wilson "
"I think index racing with a .400 tree will bring back spectators and the racers will love it once they get on to it. As a driver I know it is more fun when I am side by side with a guy going down the track. Much more so that either blowing by someone at the finish line or getting blown by. When both cars leave at the same time and arrive at the finish line at the same time people will watch it and enjoy it a lot more. "

In the past I raced in bracket races that had a comon index and when S/C first started it was similar racing side by side and it was great.
I also have advocated to abandon throttle stops only to upset a lot of guys that don't want to change.

As far as the red light rule is concerned if your leaving at the same time it's adequate as is but if your leaving with a staggered start it should be the worst not the first. I think a couple of big bracket race promoting /Racers are trying to address just that.(Biondo, Speilia? )
