Every time this thing goes around, it gains a little more support. It's now down to the point that the only people who don't think changing to a worse red light are:

1. people who race a car that is in a class that is only going to benefit from it, seldom.... like a AA/SA car, down to maybe C/S... wherein, most of the time they are second to leave.

2. people who don't see that depriving the second car to leave of its chance to red light if the first car has left too soon, is a fairness issue. It would seem to me to be, but they don't agree.

3. people who have been racing under the current system for so long that it is so ingrained in their thinking that it just seems "right" to them, in spite of the facts.

4. people who are dead-set against ANY kind of change, having been "enhanced" to within an inch of their lives.... and they can't stand the thought of "more enhancement." I don't think there are many of these. but they're out there.

5. people who just like to argue, for whatever the reason, and will continue to argue long after the facts have become clear to them. (Are you listening, ED???)

6. people who like to be on the winning side of ANY issue, and who are convinced (and are probably RIGHT) that this is never gonna happen....

I probably missed as many as I got, but it's hard to imagine, with an issue as clear-cut as this one, how ANYBODY could be against a change that would make racing more fair, and wouldn't affect ANYBODY'S driving style.... or give ANYBODY an advantage.

Go figure....
