>>>This hasn't changed for FORTY-SIX YEARS.... and all the time, the first car to leave has been enduring a set of circumstances that the second car to leave does not; if the car in the other lane redlights first,the second car never has to face the jeopardy of a possible red light.... it has a free ride to the next round, no matter WHAT kind of a light it would have had.

>>>That's not a level playing field by any stretch of the imagination. If it can be changed, why shouldn't it?
Neither driver will notice the difference until AFTER both cars have left the line and a red light comes on in the lane that had the worse one. This "Change" won't affect either driver's program until it's evident that it won't matter; the race will be over as soon as he finds out there was an infraction.



BSA said, "it has changed to much and to fast the last ten years."

>>>That is your opinion; I tend to agree with that, but this change willl require NOTHING from any driver, as far as "adjusting" his program.... He'll be totally unaware of it unless he red lights worse than the car in the other lane, and only then, AFTER both have left the line. Neither car's red light will show until after BOTH cars have launched.



BSA said, "the first red light rule has cons and pro's...It will not change anything in the end...but just be another "Change"


>>>With a double red light system, If my car is in a faster class than yours, and you red light -.003 and I red light -.004, you just won that race, BUT, the way it is now, ~I~ would have won it because my "worse" red light would not have counted because.... yours was first. I'd go to the next round, not you, even though my infraction was worse than yours.

>>>So, yes, it will change things; it will stop that kind of nonsense.




BSA said, ".dual redlights where the first car did not drag the other car along isn't that many..


>>>That is true.... this new double red light rule won't come into play very often at all.




BSA said, "and the cases were the slower cars in that scenario is the winner is even fewer...


>>>That is probably true, too....



BSA said, "just a another way for a "redlight loser" to get back in the race as i see it."



>>>Using the double red light system, if the other (second to leave) car red lights WORSE (an impossibility, now) then the first car is NOT a "red light loser" and doesn't need to "get back into the race" since he was never out of it. He won that round. Worse red light loses.




BSA said, "DONT REDLIGHT."


>>>Oh yes..... good advice; right up there with "WIN THE RACE!!!"
>>>Nothing to it....
>>>Like the lady said; "It's just BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, GO! What's the problem???" LOL!




BSA said, "Put the pressure on the other guy...if you have problems with redlights you wont win anything anyway...so change that manner instead![/QUOTE]

>>>But, you'll win more if the system gives HIM his chance to redlight, too.... irrefutable logic!!! LOL!
