It's so unfair it's killed drag racing, and people have been quitting over that one rule for decades. It's so important that the very life of drag racing depends on that, and that alone.



It wouldn't make a difference to me, no matter what I drive, although I do have some things in the works for an A/SA car.

I've raced under the same rules for about 3 decades, give or take, and it seems like a reasonable balance to me, even when I go red first, but the other guy is more red than I am.

If I go red, I go red, if I do it first, shame on me, even if the other guy was worse. I don't care, I blame every loss on the guy I look at in the mirror when I brush my teeth. If I lost, I didn't do everything better than the guy in the other lane, or at least I didn't do enough things better than he did.
