I think I've heard more fast guys say "I just couldn't wait" than the slow guy say they couldn't wait on the tree. So who really has the advantage on the tree? Fast or slow it's usually not the guy with his head in his A**... that has the advantage. Isn't it usually your own fault for a redlite? Now we are putting blame on the system. Let's move on to something constructive, like track conditions and run order.

Well said Adger.
Let me think back to one of my last races....5 day's of no pay, 4 night's at $105 per night at the local motel, 1200 miles worth of diesel @ 10 mpg and at $3.44 a gallon, plus wear and tear. That was a whole lot of money spent for a -.002 red weekend of fun. But still, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
