When I built the car the rule was first redlight. I'm not one to build something then lobby to get the rules changed to suit me.
To me that is the same as buying a house near a race track then wanting the track shut down for noise.

Art,
This horse is not dead, because it has the advantage of logical thought on its side.
You just told me that you are willing to play the goat in this theater of the absurd, to eternity, because you CHOSE to run a class with a built-in disadvantage from the git-go.
That's noble, I suppose, in a twisted way, but it's certainly no reason not to change the system from one that favors certain cars (*second-to-leave") over other ones ("first to leave.")
You act like I'm trying to give an unfair advantage to somebody, with this change.
I'm not. I'm trying to get the system changed to one that gives NOBODY an advantage.
Is that the same thing? I don't think so....
How can anyone, with an appreciation for the positive sportsmanship aspects of a system that doesn't bestow an advantage to ANYONE, be against this change?
It takes the advantage away from the second car to leave, and that's ALL IT DOES.
Now, tell me what's wrong with that, if you can. Where is it written that NHRA is entitled to run a system wherein they give an advantage to one car, or another, at their whim?
I'm not talking about horsepower factors; I'm talking about the rules structure.

"Give it a rest"??? LOL!
I said it before, and I'll say it again.... this forum has enough moderators, already...
Is somebody selling those "temporary moderator" hats???????
I know Santa didn't bring you one; it's not Christmas,yet...
If you don't like what I write, DON'T READ IT! Nobody's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to participate in this discussion.
My offer still stands; if ANYONE can post (on this forum) a legitimate and logical reason not to change to a "worse red light" system, I will never write another word about it.
I'd welcome the "vacation." I'm sure everyone else would, too!!!
So far, nobody has.. because there IS no logical and legitimate reason not to change to a system of red lights that stops favoring the quicker car, be it a AA/S or a V/SA....
NHRA spends $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on trying to make racing as fair as it can be (teardowns, factors, etc.) To ignore this "easy fix" for an admittedly unfair rule is incredibly remiss, I think
But, it'll never happen, in the real world, because NHRA can't make any money with it...
Not a plugged nickel...
