First VS Worst red light
 

I'm just curious as to everybodies opinion on the current rule vs the other option(worst red light). I personally would like to see the rule changed to the worst. But as a fairly new second generation racer, i am curious as to the opinions of the more seasoned racers as well as the new racers. Pros and cons both...

At least one of the posts that they are reffering to is one that I started that garnered just under 250 posts. What I MEANT when I started it was that here is a prime Example for "True Start". An Example. It was a race between Jody Lang & Bob Gullet.
(W) Bob Gullett F/S 10.85 -0.008 10.956 0.106
(L) Jody Lang M/SA 12.11 -0.007(R)12.984 0.874
It set off a firestorm of very strong opinions on the subject both ways. Bob won this one but with true start, Jody would have won it.

PERSONALLY I'm in favor of true start. Im just 1, one, I, uno vote. True start has been adopted in some places. I think the Fling uses it.

In my own racing , I train to react. I have a practice tree. If you say don't red light, its something you have to think about.

I vote for true start.

Slow cars want it fast cars don’t. Play by current rules. If it ever changes then we will have to just roll with it

Worst. I vote for True Start too.

No dog in the hunt. I don't have a vote. So, there is no reason for anybody to badmouth me for my comment, please.

"Slow cars want it fast cars don’t..."

To me, this statement sums it up nicely.

A change would give the quick cars less advantage. Nobody wants LESS advantage.

Same with heads-up runs. doing away with heads-up would also give the quick cars less advantage.

So, I can't blame the quick guys for not wanting any changes.

I also can't blame the slow cars for wanting the changes. In both cases, the change would benefit the slow cars.

I can see why the quick guys sometime get rather nasty, when either of these changes are discussed. In most cases, the quick guys have spent LOTS of money in order to have a quick car. They don't want more competition from the low budget guys.

So, I am always interested in the back & forth discussions of these 2 possible changes. Good entertainment, unless the F-bombs start flying.

Yes to True Start. I run slow in Stock and race a 10'o car in foot brake and Pro category. Usually I'm the faster car. I should be held accountable for being a worse driver and committing a violation. Pretty simple.
