In this case you could also say the first redlight loses.

exactly. When big money bracket races, NHRA's bracket series, and local tracks go to a WORSE redlight rule, then it might be time to think about it for stock/SS/Comp. But Stock and Superstock is not the place to try this experiment.

A question for the proponents of this rule, name me one track in the US that uses a WORSE redlight rule in their weekly bracket program?

Treesavoy...how about the 55-60 Corvettes that have an inherent advantage w/ a 36" driveshaft as opposed to a tri-five sedan w/ the same engine/induction combination, along with a Jerico trans. and corporate 12 bolt and Calvert bars. Not to mention 55-57 Paxton supercharged Ford Thunderbirds w/four spd (Jerico/G force) trannies and 9" rear to spice up the action. Does anyone remember the 56-57 Plymouth Furies w/two fours and pushbutton touqreflite that terrorized the '57 Chevies. There is a ton of nostalgia 59-64 Chevy 409 freaks out there racing right now that have been waiting to get into the action.

Im a slow car, always will be a slow car! i have a fix for it. just stop giving out R.T.s that will fix it all. you have a starting line, and a finish line, and you both have the same one!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe ill just put mine back on the street! go to car shows way less bitching

I also believe the worst red light should lose.

Why hasn't it been done that way? Because the technology hasn't been available before. The local tracks won't spend the bucks to purchase the latest timing system if they don't have to. And, the NHRA likes seeing the wheelstanding faster cars out there. More exicting and spectator friendly as part of their big show.

I guess the drivers complaining must red light alot.
Why dont you crying no racing donkeys get off the computer.
And you same donkeys want to get rid of HEADS UP RACING..
Do us all a favor and take up golf or TV couch potato racing..
Or be .200 in the tree AND YOU WONT GO RED!!

I was in Stock against a top ten contender for the championship. National one weekend, divisional the next. I had the faster car. Both races he red lit. So did I.
Both races I red lit worse. Both races he went home and I advanced. He wasn't happy.
You build a slower car, you build a faster car. Either way, you know the pitfalls of both going in.
This jiberish is almost always by a no-name. Either a no-name in bracket racing or a no-name in class racing.

I think we should leave it the way it is! what make the diff? if im the first car to leave, and i go red i should have lost any way! just the way it is!!!!!!!if your all that worried about it better hit the practice tree and just not red light, sounds easer than looking for a excuses why you got beat!, and trust me im never the last to leave!

I'm always the first to leave in superstock.
Worst red light would benifit me. But I built the car knowing what the rules were. I have no business crying to change them after the fact.
