First VS Worst red light

1347 · 08-26-2020, 11:08 AM

Why are some trying to change the rules? I believe its because those with a slower car either feel it will give them an advantage, or I would say a second chace at winning the round. Even though they were red they can win if the other person is more red.

Being faster car has it's advantages, but one thing they don't have is a clean tree or starting line. Sometime watching that slow car go out 1 or 2 seconds or more distracts someones tree, or watching the other car move as you are in the middle of your tree coming down will distract you.

I've heard people for years say they would rather leave first and have the advantage of a " clean tree", and other say they would rather leave second and chase.

I think the way the rule is and has been for years is an equalizer. Leaving first gives you a clean tree, but for some being the chase car is a different advantage. You can't have it all, but some want to tip the scales or change the rules for what has worked for a long long time.
