NHRA had the digital wherewithall at the time, to fix it, and they did.

Now, many years later, they have the digital wherewithall to fix THIS.

Can you tell me a good, legitimate, reason why it should remain in its antiquated, patently unfair state, now that there's a cheap, easy-to-implement, "fix" (software modification) available???

I hope you still find this "enteraining" when someone with a quicker-handicap car, puts you on the trailer because even though his redlight infraction was much worse than yours, he was able to send you home, because you had the bad luck to HAVE to leave first.

Maybe you'll think about this conversation in a different light, if that ever happens (and, it could.)

happened to me at the e town national 2010, .005 red to a .061 red (i think that was his red light) i was the slower car and lost due to the red light. oh well !!!! i went home kicking my self for pushing that hard but still would not change the rules. i screwed up not nhra the tree my car his car the starter or anyone but me!!!!!! leave the rules alone.
