Glidden running Pro Stock in 1978? That is heads up. Are you nuts? You don't actually race do you? That's funny right there, I don't care who ya are.

Read it again Ed, I understand what he is saying. When you get what his point is maybe you won't be so quick to try to marginalize him. Jim

What does that have to do with handicaps? All this whining on this message board means nothing anyway. Has no effect on the rules. Why do people that don't actually have a race car and actually race with us think their opinion means anything to us anyway?

there has to be something said about the advantage of leaving first and having a clean tree....is nobody else distracted by a competitor driving by the tree when you are spotting someone 3-5 tenths

Anybody that says they are not, run such a low class they always leave first and don't have to deal with it.

Mikey,would you like to try my car out to see how much of an advantage we have?:>):>):>)

[Michael Iacono]

no thank you.....i understand your problem with the rule because you run a car that is affected by the first red light rule most, if not all the time.....but you get the clean tree and im guessing you have not spun in the last twenty or so years....there are always two sides and you can never make everyone happy...i wouldnt have a problem not displaying the red light on your side until the second car has left....this way the faster car wouldn't be able to see what the slower car did as far as red or green...what about that?

I don't know about that Michael, because two months ago I had the pleasure of doing something in a drag race that I don't get to do often....leave last (by nearly a full second). Needless to say I carded a .005rt., and my opponent was (.100 +) sleepy (perhaps to be clean and green?), thus allowing me to reel him in by the 1000ft mark, on my way to one of my easiest rnd wins since the last import car I raced!!! I wasn't pressured, but it was different....fun but different!
