Did you not know the rules when you chose what car to race?

Of course it would, Ed.
That would be the same group as this one :
I'm Against Deep Staging Because I Have a Hard Leaving High Class Car So I Voted Against it ,So You Lose.
I don't know if I race enough to have an opinion, but here it is anyway.
I told you guys before . I don't have a personal agenda involved here.I don't care whether the ever change it or not. Right now, all I have to race is a Sportsman bracket racer / Nostalgia SS/ E car. That means I leave second 100% of the time in ET racing, and first,100% of the time in NSS.
I tend to think along the lines of what is good for the sport in the long run.
You know ; such as reaction times, incrementals, first across, MOV's ..All stuff that wasn't available "the way it used to be".
Some of you may not realize, before r/t's , if the Chrondeks were set on "drags", only one red light could come on during eliminations. Of course, that being in the lane of the first car to commit the infraction. We never knew whether the second car was "redder "
Now we DO know.
A simple software change would change the starting line "first or worst " situation to match that of the finish line .
Like I said , I don't care one way or the other. What amazes me is every time this deal comes up , some have to resort to personal attacks and name calling, rather than presenting a cogent argument for their "against " position.
That tells me some DO have a personal agenda involved, and that is why we can never get anything done for the good of the sport.
