Seemed like an unusual amount of red lights at Charlotte....

Just a thought on the pre stage/stage thing. If my opponent pre stages can I not
go in and light both bulbs?

How many races were decided by worst red light at the 'Fling ? How many total rounds were run at the race ? Thanks

I did the $40K race on Thursday.

The tree was activated 454 times.

In 89 pair, there was at least one red light. (19.6%)

In 4 pair, there were double red lights. (0.9%)

Of those, 3 pair had the slower car winning the race with the lesser red light. (0.7% overall)

I've analyzed a few races, and this is definitely at the low end of the spectrum as far as double red lights.

The eventual runner-up (round 9 loser) would have lost in round 5 going -.003 in his slow door car to his quicker opponent's -.026 light.

Larry this is all I found just 1 class on Saturday



Super Pro Round 1 of Saturday's race.

467 cars went down the track. 75 of them (16%) drew a red bulb.

Of 233 pairs (plus a bye car), 68 pairs (29.2%) featured at least one red light.

7 pairs (3.0%) had double red lights.

3 pairs (1.3%) had double red lights with the slower car getting the win.

These numbers are pretty typical.
