I rarely get involved in this stuff but this time this just keeps coming up. My car is kinda middle of the pack(H,I,J,/SA). Typically I spot about half the cars at a race and get spotted about half the time. There are advantages to running a fast car and other advantages to running a slow car. I prefer leaving first. I have a clean tree, no distractions from the movement of the other car, etc. if I drive my race, have a good light, run within .01 of my dial I'm going to win 90% of those races. If I leave early And red light I lose. I did not deserve to win. I have driven from South Florida and red lighted in Sonoma so I know better than most how costly it can be. I have been a Stock Eliminator racer since at least 1990(with a few years off) and ran Super Stock in the late 70's early 80's. When I first began racing Stock it took me a year to run the index. I have seen all sides of this and think we should leave things alone and race. Is the system perfect, maybe not but nothing is. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA
