When you find a list of people that felt they were Deprived by not having a chance to redlight I would like to see it. I for one have never heard a racer say he was deprived of getting to redlight.

As Tony said, it ain't gonna happen, may as well give it a rest.

All Bill is saying is the last to leave should be less red to win the round, and he is right.

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

How would you like being the guy in the other lane? Do you think that guy is getting a fair shake from the setup as it exists, when his opponent never has to face ANY red light jeopardy when that first-to-leave car goes red?

Nobody deserves a free ride like that.

If that seems fair to you, I have some beachfront property in Arizona I'd like to talk to you about.... and, a bridge! :)

Thanks to all who've commented!

Bill I know you are not going give up. I still race and this is something I could care less about.There are way more important things in drag racing than the first or worse red light.

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

Tony, you are one of my all-time heroes. You have been there RACING the whole way. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. I ran a sedan delivery with a hydro back in the mid-sixties and I'd see your name in the results all the time. I have always been a Stock Eliminator fan, when I wasn't racing. But, it seemed,you never quit... you were always there. You EARNED my undying respect over many, many years.

Ed Fernandez also has earned my respect by fighting the good fight for years, now, with a weapon of choice that not many would choose. He's going to win a big one, one of these days (He's come mighty close, recently) and I, for one, won't be the slightest bit surprised when he does. He can drive his *** off, when he needs to!

Having said that, I'll just say that when it comes to this red light bidness, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I'll quit ranting about this when somebody, anybody, can demonstrate to me why it's not a fairer, more equitable system than what we've been living with for the last 37 years. I simply don't see any reason NOT to change it...

Keep racing, and pray that some guy with a quicker car doesn't beat you with a worse red light. That may not bother you, but it would irritate the HELL out of me... even to see it happen to you or Ed!

Keep on keepin' on!!!! :)

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

Whats the punchline is this reality next year worst redlight or just someone dreaming this up???

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

Just dreamers...And when all is right in the rulebook they'll all be racing...sure

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

Lol good one Jeff some of these guys should work on a novel at least they could make a profit :)

Re: 2011 Stock/Super Stock Rule Changes
 

When you're in the final for the money, and your first-to-leave redlight is less than your opponent's, I hope you guys still think this is hilarious when he collects what SHOULD have been your winnings....
