I'll look it up and let uou know. Five'll get you ten that what you call "balance" is not very balanced at all...

I'll get back to you....

Wanna take that bet?????????? I'll bet you ten dollars to your five that at LEAST 60-percent of the Stock Elminator Eliminator winners this year at national events were in the top half of the field.

How about it.... we'll see how your "balance" is supported by facts..
Bill,
NOW I can see where you THINK you are going. You are obviously assuming it is because of the red light rule that a lot of winners race fast cars, and you'd like to take this advantage away from guys like Bertozzi, Biondo, Fletcher, and others.

The distribution of wins has NOTHING to do with the red light rule. And nothing to do with the red light rule, either.

The distribution of wins has a lot more to do with who races a car rather than how fast the car is. Winners, like Lang, Fetch, Davis, Kidar, Faul, and others who drive "mid class" cars, get more seat time by accident in a year than the majority of the rest of racers do over a life time.

Incidentally, I'd be willing to bet that Lang, Fetch, Davis, Faul and Kidar could probably get A, B or C rides. In fact all of them but Kidar could do it without changing cars, they'd just change engines. If the red light rule is the great evil you proclaim it to be, why don't they do that? Maybe they just aren't smart like you?

Thank you for exposing your misguided agenda Bill, now that I see it for what it truly is, I see there is no need to further discuss it with you, as I can now see clearly your goal is merely to try to take something from people you see as the "haves", and give it to those you see as the "have nots". Perhaps you should seek elected office, your ideas seem to be all the rage right now.
