"Isn't it usually your own fault for a redlite?" Absolutely, but is that any reason to deprive the guy in the other lane of his chance to do it even worse? I can't see why everyone shouldn't have the same chance to redlite. Do you? As it is, they don't. If I am the first to leave, and I redlight, it is the fault of tthe CURRENT system that the second driver will never have his chance to redlight. Been that way for nearly 40 years, BECAUSE they didn't know how to fix it, for a long time. That's no longer a valid excuse. Now, they know how. Fixing this would be VERY constructive, and the fans in the stands would have no reason to be confused; only one redlight will show... the worse one, while the win light shows in the other lane. What's confusing about that? Nothing.

Cut a good light in your lane and nothing else matters.

Give it up Bill. It ain't gonna happen. Why? Because the guy who tried to get mufflers on Stock and SS would have been your only hope and he is long gone. Most will admit he was the best at getting unwanted changes accepted in the rulebook. Too bad for you and your idea...great for the rest of us. |

Adger is my hero.
Btw, isn't there also a bracket racing section here for those guys? :-)

That's why I am attempting to get awareness of this situation on this board, instead of a Bracket board. It's nothing personal.... ![]()

"great for the rest of us"????
I hope you remember writing this the next time you're eliminated by the guy in the next lane who had a worse red light than you... That makes no sense at all.

I will, and I stand by my original statement, if I go red, then I choked and don't deserve to win.

"if I go red, then I choked and don't deserve to win."
What about the guy in the other lane? He never had a chance to "choke" What is fair about you having that opportunty, and the other guy never having to face it? One set of rules for you, and another for him??? That is basically unfair, it seems to me. If you can explain what is fair about that, please tell me. It is NOT a "level playing field." It only works for an AA/S car; how many of them are there out there? They NEVER leave first...
