Alan,correct me if I'm wrong.Not one of the slower cars guys have complained about the advantages the faster cars have.It seems some of the prissy faster guys have bitched about the distraction of us slower guys leaving.
Try closing it up on a guy going 25-now almost 55 mph faster than you.We don't.We just go out there and do our best.
I really feel for the higher class guys contending with the new cars heads up.As far as the red light rule,suck it up boys and live with it.

I've lived by an airport and it never did bother me.Maybe some of the bitchers/moaners lived near a dump.That would explain a lot.

Ed,
When the idea of the AA class was proposed, a few of the slower guys complained bitterly that the fast cars were already fast enough, and had enough advantages.That's just one example.

I think this whole thing is way overblown. I wouldn't throw a fit if they did change it. I just don't see the case for doing so as being so overwhelming. There are a few advantages to slow cars, and a few to fast cars, it seems to be about level. I think a lot of people build fast cars because they like to go fast. I know I have zero interest in racing anything slower than an 11 second car. But that's just my personal preference. I certainly wouldn't be all bent about it changing like some of these guys seem to be about it not being changed. I wasn't playing the game then, but I'd have never had a complaint with people deep staging.
