Take that away and you take away that advantage from the slower car and give it to the faster one. Hope I didn’t give away any secrets, we all know you guys don’t need any more help. I'm just wondering if Mr. Bill considers this one reason against changing the rule or not.

The handicap is set.... let's say it's one second. My green light comes on and STAYS on until one second later, when YOUR green light comes on.
How is that different than what we're doing currently, except that if the first car to leave red lights, with the current system, his red light will come on immediately and your green light will NEVER come on, because you're the winner, never having had YOUR chance to red light.
Do you see where you need to have a chance to red light, too, or there is an unfair jeopardy for the first car to leave? He had to cut a green light to have a chance to win, but you never did.
