First VS Worst red light

[sska3360]

I'm just curious as to everybodies opinion on the current rule vs the other option(worst red light). I personally would like to see the rule changed to the worst. But as a fairly new second generation racer, i am curious as to the opinions of the more seasoned racers as well as the new racers. Pros and cons both...

Do a search on past postings...

Not this nonsense again.Don't redlight and you won't have this problem.

At least one of the posts that they are reffering to is one that I started that garnered just under 250 posts. What I MEANT when I started it was that here is a prime Example for "True Start". An Example. It was a race between Jody Lang & Bob Gullet.
(W) Bob Gullett F/S 10.85 -0.008 10.956 0.106
(L) Jody Lang M/SA 12.11 -0.007(R)12.984 0.874
It set off a firestorm of very strong opinions on the subject both ways. Bob won this one but with true start, Jody would have won it.

PERSONALLY I'm in favor of true start. Im just 1, one, I, uno vote. True start has been adopted in some places. I think the Fling uses it.

In my own racing , I train to react. I have a practice tree. If you say don't red light, its something you have to think about.

I vote for true start.

Slow cars want it fast cars don’t. Play by current rules. If it ever changes then we will have to just roll with it

I would bet it will change eventually. More and more tracks will use it for S/SS combo races. Most will then think..hey no big deal.

As most of the old timers retire or worse, there won't be as much opposition either.

When first proposed , most of the fast Stockers were in the low 10's .Today, a way different story. A few of the formerly fastest Stocker guys will probably come around too.

There are advantages to both ends of the spectrum, so I don't see that as a good argument "against'.

I've said before, I don't care , one way or the other. I just try to look at the big picture.

I just got home from the Epping Sports Nationals. I watched several higher HP cars blow the tires away from poor starting line prep. I have raced both fast and slow stockers. I'm all for true start. But if the faster car spins the tires because lack of starting line prep you get a rerun. If you think there is such a big advantage with a faster car than build one. BP

What if just the slower car spins due to bad track prep, rerun as well?
