This is pure BS, but fun recovering from the flu which kicked my *** for 24 hours!

Mark, the fast guys may have voted deep out, but if there were more of them who voted the democratic majority spoke.
Some may have had their own self interest in mind but others may have realized the unfair advantages being handed over and exploited. It's supposed to be fair and it was not as it brought the human element in that autostart was supposed to get rid of. That holding the tree for deep was BS!!

This red light thing is just an issue of the driver training his or her mind to see their spot on the tree. If you see it and the race car setup is right you will not red light. It's not easy and as we get older more difficult. The young guys don't have a lot of money so they train their minds to take advantage of what tools they have. The older guys may not have the commitment or talent or youth but they have the buck$ to go fast.

Some things in life just are not fair!!!
Frank, The autostart was put in place for one reason at first . That being to speed up the national events. The same goes for the 3 amber tree, as opposed to the five. All that stuff trickles down from the Nat'l event track; not the other way around
Someone mentioned the worst red light rule should start at the grass roots level. That's not the way all this stuff works.
I suspect the No Deep ruling was put in for the same reason.
No one said the tree should be held for anyone, but using the pre-stage light to disqualify anyone is pure BS. That was put there as a warning light. Nothing more.
Where were all the traditionalists when THIS came up ??

Now the "unbiased poll/ majority rule thing.
That would be like going into NYC or downtown San Francisco and asking :
Which party most represents the little guy and the labor unions?

__ Republicans

__ Democrats


I showed you guys the number of 10 sec. cars at Pomona. What would you expect to happen with a poll here?

Good luck this year , from a signman
