Ed, if you think this rule as is stands, is fair, why don't you tell me why?

Don't you think that with all the time and money spent on this activity, it would be nice to have a level playing field?

You don't, you know.

Anything else is not fair.

This bulletin board exists for people like me, to post their opinions, and that is what I have done This is just my opinion. If you disgree, you could at least tell me what is wrong with mine. You'd rather tell me what you think is wrong with ME... which is not the subject at all.

When something is so blatantly unfair a first redlight rule, it's really hard to justify keeping it. Reasons to do so are few and far between. In fact, with all the notes you have sent me on this subject, I have never read a good reason to keep such an unfair rule.

Now's your chance: What are your reasons (or, reason) to keep a rule that screws virtually half the peope who race under it?

Tell me.... please, why you think everyone should not have the same chance to redlight in EVERY race.

Since I don't race a class-legal car, you seem to think I should have NO OPINION on it, but as NHRA goes, so goes the rest of the race tracks, procedurally. That means while you're getting screwed with your class car, I'm ALSO getting screwed by this rule in my Bracket car. I want it changed because there's just no reason NOT to.

BTW, both of my race cars are "new" and are in the shakedown phase; one is suprcharged V8, and one is an inline six with a turbo. LOTS of "shakedown."
