Why not wait until the race is run and over to reveal if someone went red? If it's being argued that the change is to "enhance the show", then let the cars race it out to the end so the fans have something to see instead two cars that have clicked it off and roll to the end of the track. Oh wait, they run us before the fans have gotten there and after they have been dismissed at the end of the pro show, so I guess that doesn't matter.
When describing the science of drag racing to my friends, I always lead with "there are many more ways to lose than there are to win." I would love to see a "worst" apply to the redlight situation. Yes I drive a slower car, so I like the idea of the playing field leveled a little bit. Lord knows I need all the help I can get!
It's nice to talk about, and I would love it to be implemented, but I really doubt it will change.
