We used to have that here at Tulsa. I liked to run cars about .5 slower, and just left when their car moved, the slower car was dead meat, and could do nothing about it. Several guys did that. One was killing us until the starter found he was watching him press the button.

Many faster guys take a shot at the tree when the slower car goes red, or just stop sitting on the converter for no reason. If they change it, I think the guys wanting it will be suprised at how little it actually helps them.
