If that had been a breakout instead of a red light (with those numbers), the other guy would have won.
Tell me, Ed, why there should be this opposite result for what is basically the same situation? Show me some of that NEW YAWK "logic" that will explain away this totally different result from one instance wherein the worse infraction gets the loss (breakout), but in the other (first red light) , the worse infraction gets the win. That's with today's antiquated rules.... I need to hear the NEW YAWK logic of that to understand your comment about Texas/Arkansas...

If you're going to use this logic, do some further analysis adding margin of victory into the equation: In a double breakout situation was the racer further under his dial and also through the finish line first? If so the racer broke out first AND broke out by more. Therefore first and worst. In the races I have lost on a double breakout I have taken the stripe ![]()

Lets look at the FACTS; If you are complaining about this rule then, therefore, you must be loosing enough races by redlight to do so, right? Isnt that why you are arguing this point? If so, then you are redlighting too much! Look and see how many times you have lost in a year by redlight and ask yourself if the rule was different, would I have won? If you have to ask yourself that, its too many times. If you are loosing enough races to want this rule changed then you need to fix your problem. There is your legitimate argument.

Believe it or not, there are people in this world who have reasons for wanting things that are not necessarily beneficial to THEM. Because this rule potentially affects every handicap race that's run (every round), the number of people over the last 36 years who have lost races because they were the first to leave (something they had no control over), and red lighted, thereby depriving the second car to leave of HIS chance to red light, must be staggering. This can happen to an O/SA car racing a N/SA, as easily as it can an A/SA car running against a B/SA car. In no way, is it the playground of the V/SA and W/SA cars; nobody (except the AA cars) is exempt. AND, WHEN AND IF it ever gets into usage, (which I doubt), all it will do to the AA cars is put them in the same red light jeopardy that the rest of the cars have always been in. That is, they will now have a chance to red light (even though the slower car alreday bulbed), whereas, as things stand now, the only way they're EVER in redlight jeopardy, is if the first car to leave goes green.... and, they're ALWAYS the second to leave. I have been a fan of drag racing since 1955, and it took me until about 2004, and to have some guy a lot smarter than I was, (and, that's not hard at all...) to explain this worse red light system to me, before I could grasp the significance of it. It took me awhile (weeks) to really understand exactly what was going on. I was so used to it being the way it was, I just wasn't equipped to really absorb what it all meant... but after a (long) while, I did have the light above my head tun on.... I love drag racing; always have.... and this FIRST red light system has been a carbunkle on the playing field, in my perception, anyway, ever since I finally "got it", after years and years of accepting it the way it was.... I'd like to see it fixed for everybody's benefit.... not just mine. I don't race that much....
