Use 'worse' if you're comparing two things: "I think eggplant is worse than squash, but that's just my opinion."

Use 'worst' if you're comparing multiple things: "I disagree. Eggplant and boiled cabbage are both vile, but squash is the worst!"


.

Once again, we agree; I used pizza; you used eggplant... but it always takes at least three things to have a "worst."

Since you guys don't have a clue................

The policy that you are attempting to correct is the policy known as "First or Worst" not first or worse.....

If you didn't understand the content of my prior sentence, feel free to make all of the grammatical corrections that you like....

I think I will sign off with...

Have a nice day....

PS.

I can't say what I want to say because it will get me tossed off of this forum...

I've got an idea. How about at a specialty race be it S/SS or brackets lets give it a try? If the software is there, try it. Going to have to test it to see how it works anyway. Who is would try a race with it? You know the HRA's won't make a change without testing and if someone else does it and it works the will look at making a change.

Car A redlights

Car B crosses the centerline, .....worse , Car A gets a win ticket

Car A proceeds to the scale, is light, gets tossed

Car B had the worst infraction, but they're both still out.

I don't know how this all relates ,but it's an example of "worst"

Anyway , you guys are pretty much on the same side of this debate.You ought to quit arguing about it ..LOL

What you say is 100-percent keyrect, Mark, but you're talking about "infractions," and I'm talking about red lights.

Since there's only two competitors, and it takes three of ANYthing, to have a "worst," There can never be a "worst red light."

Only worse.

How many ways can this subject of a "worse red light" be muddied up, and made to seem ambiguous, when the fix is so simple?

I have a list as long as your arm from people who don't understand this, because they don't WANT to understand it, who introduce impertinent facets to the basic argument, whose only interest in the discussion is to add situations and possibilities to the situation that have nothing to do with the basic premise (that all drivers, regardless of handicap, reaction time, or dial-in) EACH deserve a chance to red light.

People want to talk about deep-staging, clean trees, wheelspin, and anything under the sun to divert attention away from the basic question of, "Is everbody facing equal red light jeopardy."

The answer is of course, "NO, not until this rule is changed."

Not a dead horse, unless you have a hidden agenda, and feel like, somehow, SOME cars just naturally deserve a break.

I don't think so....

Jeff, the software would have to be changed. You lose many that way?

Bill, I call asking (you haven't yet) for a software re-write and rule change, especially AFTER you build a car knowing the long standing rules, a hand out. JMHO

That is so ABSURD !!
As are most of your "I don't care either way" posts..... you care but I can't figure out why !
What is your agenda ?

If you don't realize it; unfair is unfair, no matter if Bill Dedman races, or not.

I'm just not that important... but thanks for the compliment.

When ALL CARS are subject to the SAME red light jeopardy, then I won't have a gripe.

If you don't realize that this rule affects EVERYBODY (Not just Bill Dedman,) then I've been wasting my time.

Why put up with this antiquated rule that treats different racvers differently, when if can be fixed so that EVERYBODY gets the same chance to red light? MY standing as a current racer has less than nothing to do with that.

Can you understand THAT?

Okay, where is the hand out???
How is making the rule for red lights the SAME for EVERYBODY, a hand out?
A hand out would be giving an advantage to slower car... OR a faster car (as it is, now.)

Faster cars have been enjoying a "hand out" since 1963 (the FREE RIDE if their competitor "bulbs.")

If that isn't a "hand out," I don't know what is....
Where is your objection to THAT "hand out"?????
