Gary, I'd love to take credit for it, but it was never my idea.... as I said, I participated in (for awhile) and watched racing with the "first red light" system (that's now in place) for many, many years before some guy explained the one-sided nature of the system to me in a way that I could understand it.

I would ~never~ have figured it out on my own....

It's not through a sense of humility that I deny any involvement in figuring out a fair way to fix this; it's facts. I had to have it explained to me repeatedly, before I understood what was wrong and how to fix it.

Appparently, I have a very thick skull....

BTW, I don't know how old you might be, but I am 70, and went to my first race in 1955.... and, was hooked. Can't imagine my life without drag racing... Don't want to, anyway...

Thanks for your interest and comments; you make a lot of sense to me!
