questions concerning christmas tree

Were the rules being written today, for the first time, with the current technology that is available, there is simply no way… NO WAY… this “first red light” thing would have even been considered.

Bob Glidden and Lee Sheppard never had to deal with this. Don Garlits and Joe Amato never had to deal with this. All of these people were always presented with an EQUAL opportunity at the tree.

Cutting a light….tearing down the tree…is a FUNDAMENTAL of this sport. That some races are not subjected to this same, basic standard, is simply unimaginable.

The chorus of “…been that way since day one and it should not be changed…” is just about as twisted as saying that slavery, since it was legal, should still be allowed.

NHRA and IHRA…..if you are reading this, go to a “worst” red light system now. Do not take a survey. Do not ask of people’s opinions. Do not announce when you are going to start doing it. You know you have the software in place to do this, so just do it.

All I ask, is that when you start doing it, publish the complaints, anonymously, of the few that will find this unfair: THAT will make for some humorous entertainment.
