Well, Ed, you remember that I have posted, that, having it explained to ME, in detail, by the guy who thought it up, it took me at least a couple of months (maybe more) to "get it" regarding just how this current system (FIRST RED LIGHT) puts the first car to leave at a tactical disadvantage?

I was a "quick study" compared to you.

I have explained it seventeen different ways, making it as simple as I possibly could, just for YOU, (since you race a car that is probably the first to leave 90-percent of the time.)

But, you still don't seem to comprehend that the First Red Light system, which was put into place 36 years ago (because they had NO CHOICE at the time, and has been putting the first-to-leave car at a strategic disadvantage ever since,) can be changed to a system that gives an advantage to NO ONE, and do it in such a way that absolutely NO CHANGES will be necessary in the driving protocol, and the change will go almost totally unnoticed by everyone except when a dual red light occurs, and the second car to leave, bulbs worse then the first.

That doesn't happen very often at all... very infrequently, so, it's a change that wil be invisible most of the time, except for the red light for EITHER lane, not showing, until a few milliseconds after the second car has left the line. During those few milliseconds, the 'tree's computer wil compare the two lights and award the win light to the lane with the lesser offense. Just like it does in a breakout situation.

Don't you think a system that gives an advantage to NO ONE is better than a system that favors one segment of the cars in contention, or the other???

If you think that one segment deserves an advantage, tell me why.

I'm all ears...

P.S.: You need a better spell-checker....
P.P.S.: Why are you concerned that I have a lot of spare time; jealous????????
I feel like I'm in a conversation with a coconut.Maybe the rule isn't fair because LIFE itself isn't fair.In a perfect world we wouldn't have a St Judes Hospital where some little ones will never grow up.That's real life,not some bull**** red light rule.
Wanna do something useful?Go volunteer for something,anything and give your fingers a rest.
And before you ask,I do all I can for the military,past and present.Every mailing I get from the Paralyzed Vets and the DAV and others gets a contribution.
I'm done,you will carry this crusade till the next apple falls off the tree and ignites another bomb in your head.
