For your own peace of mind, know you owe no one an explanation of your position. If anyone asks you to explain why the worst red light is where things ought to be, ignore them. If it has to be explained, they’ll never understand the explanation.

Thanks for those kind words. I don't see a lot of them on these cyber-pages; You and Jim Wahl have been my inspiration for this crusade, but there is one thing I have not, apparently, made clear. This (TruStart) double red light system is in ~no way~ MY idea. I am just not that smart. I raced for years (after 1963, and the 'tree was instituted,) thinking everything was "fine" with no thought of changing anything. It wasn't until a bracket racing friend of mine (about 15 years ago) explained the inequity of giving the second car to leave, a free ride to the next round if the first car red lights, that I began to understand the inequities of what goes on at an NHRA track RE: the red light system. Unequal red light jeopardy...
I have a thick skin (and, some people would say, skull) having spent the last 25 years on BB's with varying degrees of rancor directed at me, so, not to worry... I'm fine...
I am just glad this is finally happening... I don't understand the inertia in getting it implemented "across-the-board," but I can wait a little longer... I've been waiting a long time........
This is a breath of fresh air!
Thanks for your comments!!!!
