Jim , I don't think it's a non-issue, but I think it's a minor issue.
I do know plenty of people who's partial justification for moving up to A-B-C cars, was it gave the other guy the first opportunity to red light.

That being said, it was never enough reason for me to NOT build a slower car.
In reality , if you can't string together 4 or 5 good lights in a row, you're not going to win much, leaving first or second.

There were several " first" red lights this weekend. I'm surprised we haven't heard about them yet, here.. .But that's another thread, isn't it?
