Bruce,

I have read your posts on this board for a long time; I know you to be a really intelligent guy in a lot of respects, with loads of experience and savvy as regards drag racing. You have been a participant in this discussion about worse red lights on many occasions.

Given all that, your current posts make me wonder if you understand how this system would work (if implimented, which probably wll never happen, anyway), because of some comments you've made.

To wit: Phillip marvetz (sic) posted his opinion: " If NHRA makes this change it won't be for us, It will be for the PRO'S" (which made no sense to me, because the double red light rule only comes into play on handicapped races, and NONE of the Pro races have handicaps.)

"Bobby" then said, "In head's up, first is worst. Won't make any bit of difference for the pro's." That was just an attempt to correct Phillip's assessment of the situation.

Then, you posted, " Bobby,
You kinda missed the point. Heads-up as in eliminations."

I don't understand what you meant by that. Phillip posted something that had no validity within the confines of this discussion (nobody is talking about "Pros" OR heads-up runs, at all) and when he (Bobby) points that out, you're saying he "missed the point?"

Exactly what was the point that Bobby missed??

Fill us in; I'm obviously not the only one who was puzzled by your contention that Bobby "missed the point."
