No, it's not fair, but we are talking about procedural rules here.... not "FAIR" in other venues.
The subject of this thread is matters pertinent to red light rules.... if you want start a thread about something else, have at it... but that's not "us."
Your comment that, "Once again, while you repeat your mantra dozens of times" ... LOL! I repeat it because you don't seem to comprehend when I say, "I run a Bracket car, which follows the letter of NHRA law when red lights are prosecuted. That makes ME, Bill the Bracket Racer, a victim in exactly the same way it does you, Jeff, the Class Racer whenever there's a first red light issue.
Get it? Your comments, like, "this wouldn't affect you because you do not partake in the Class you have your nose in" make me think that you don't.
Your "red light experience" is EXACTLY the same as mine. Why WOULDN'T I want it changed? Why wouldn't YOU, for that matter...

Bill,
I HAVE stated who this would negatively affect. I thought I made it pretty clear. It revolves around a guy building a car per the rules for an ADVANTAGE. Smart racers build cars that way. Racing is not all "cumbayaa" or however that word is spelled. Anybody that doesn't look for an advantage is a fool throwing his money away so I don't want to hear "it's a personal agenda". Nobody has ALL the advantages but when you stack enough of them up, you have better chances of winning. And winning is what this is about. And yes, that is not always fair.
I'd re-write it all or maybe you should look up the post I made regarding this but I have to get back to work. All I know is I made the post and you either did not see it (doubt that) or chose to ignore it. As it didn't fit your mold, that would seem plausible.
And my post about class index differences and tranny breaks was not to re-direct this thread. It was an illustration that there ARE "unfair" (perceived or real) situations in racing and this issue of first or worst red light is not exclusive. If I cared enough, I would take it direct to NHRA. And one day I will. I will post it here along with my letter(s) to NHRA. I stand on my own two feet and am not easily deterred.
