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."

Quit trying to bring logic and intelligence into a perfectly emotionally charge discussion!!!
I noticed nobody trying to argue with what Randall Klein or Bob Unkefer said. Definitely two of the best posts so far.
Doing this just flat out makes sense. At least, if it's something that isn't terribly hard to do. Which it has been indicated (I believe even by compulink) that it is not a difficult change to make in the system.
Phil,
What the heck does this have to do with the pros? This only matters to handicapped races. The last time I checked all pro classes run heads up. How does this matter to them?
I hear you guys saying how this is gonna change everything. How? Give an example? If you can that is, something tells me a lot of you don't understand how this would effect things. Or you don't want to be honest about it because you have a car on the faster end of the spectrum.
A lot of changes in stock have been bad. But you somehow take that to mean any change is bad. This one is in the name of logic and fairness.
