Redlight Poll (Revised)

I already got your opinion, but it wan't based on logic, so, I thought you might want to re-think some of that. For instance:


"I don't think it's broken."



Then you think it's perfectly OK that when a AA/S car races a B/S car, the B/S car has a chance to red light, but if he does, the AA/S car will never get HIS chance to red light, which could be a worse infraction, and give the race to the B/S car? What is fair about that? Please tell me. Don't just say "Those are the rules," because it doesn't have to be that way; we can change that inequity.

"Fact? It's a current rule that we must abide by."


Keyword here is "current." Doesn't have to be that way.



"Logic? Once the first car red lights the race is over."


That's not logic; that's just the status quo. The status quo could change any day, if NHRA desides to change the rule. Where's the "logic", then?


"Opinion? It is the same for both cars. Some times you are first to leave, giving you the chance to eliminate your self. Some times you are second to leave, giving you the chance to win be your opponents red light."



It's the same for both cars? Tell me when the AA/S car will be the first to leave...
Never. Unless it's a slug and chooses a dial-in slower than his opponent, which COULD happen, but is highly unlikely. And, there are a LOT of top class cars out there, now...


"You asked for an opinion of a reason, don't know what that means."


Here's what that means: I'm sure you have an opinion about the reason(s) you think this anomaly is "not broken." You think that it's fine to have a rule that is giving the advantage of not having red light jeopardy if the slower car fouls, because..... (insert reason, here.)
I just wanted to hear how, in your mind, that kind of inequity can be justified.or condoned. That's all,



"These are the facts/reasons/opinions/logic AS I SEE IT. There is zero chance you will change my mind. You keep asking for a reason, indicating that if one is given you may change yours. I don't care one way or the other what you want, nor am I interested in changing your mind. You asked, I answered. I speak for myself, and don't care who is on the band wagon with me."

OK Fair enough.
