My local track was running AHRA with that system when I started racing. I had pretty quick physical reactions, so I was able to do pretty well.

As far as double redlights, I have experienced 3 of them this season, out of roughly 40 eliminations rounds. One was in my tow rig (I was the slower car), and my redlight was a lot closer to green. In my S/G car racing non-electronics brackets, I am usually the quicker car. I was the beneficiary of a slower car's double red-light earlier this year (mine by 0.002 to his 0.031), but at the ET finals I was slightly slower and red-lit (another -0.002), while the other guy red-lit by 0.045, but he crossed the centerline and lost anyway. I'll bet I average 2 double redlights a season since I started racing regularly again in 2007, and this year is the first that I've been the faster car on a regular basis.

Regards,
