Is this fair Bill? Oh, I forgot, this wouldn't affect you because you do not partake in the Class you have your nose in.

Once again, while you repeat your mantra dozens of times, You do not respond to my inquiries unless berated to do so. So once again, why are YOU not taking this to NHRA? Your commentary suggesting your calls would fall on deaf ears because you do not have an active license is meaningless. You have identified yourself as an active NHRA member (which surprised me) and receive ND publication. So you have as much voice as the minions you are trying to recruit. As their leader, lead!
You remind me of the whinny *****'s that complain about our country and politicians yet can't get off the couch to vote.
Are you suggesting that because NHRA is in the business of giving technical advantages to some cars, but not others, that should negate the efforts to equalize the rules regarding
red lights? What has one to do with the other?

NHRA can, and WILL do whatever they want, to hand out goodies that may or may not increase an individual car's performance, but that has nothing to do with the utilization of rules for red light protocol that affect everyone, equally.

Get another, more appropriate analogy; that one doesn't work.

Here;s a question for YOU:

WHO would be damaged, strategically, or, in any other way, by the implementation of a worse red light rule?

I am trying to figure out just what it is that you object to so vehemently, about a rule that would not cause a change in anyone's driving practices, would be virtually unnoticable to fans, would be the same rule for EVERYBODY, and would harm nobody's racing program. It's reason to exist is that for the first time, EVERYBODY would have the same chance to red light.

You have chastised me for not answering some of your questions from time-to-time.
Don't be guilty of the same thing, with this one.

Who would be harmed by the change to this rule?
