Redlight Poll (Revised) - Page 5

Bill, I agree with your responce, it would be a better way of racing other then the second car get a free run. On the free pass that the racer gets, the racer can go as fast as he wants to gather as much information as he needs to get an advantage over the rest of the cars that didn't get the freebee. There is no toll to be paid for what ever he does because the other car fouls in front of him.

You bulb first, you're OUT, thus depriving the second car of his chance to do what you just did, and maybe worse.

Shows how much you really know about the sport you've been in since the invention of the wheel.
I leave first and I foul.Faster cars leaves,and contrary to what Casey posted,he crosses the centerline or outer boundary.Tell me Bill,who comes back?
When either car fouls now,first or last leaver,the win light comes on the the other cars lane,so both cars can run to the end to see what they would have run in a non foulout race.
Learn the rules before you get to the track.

Come on guys put the spin on it.

ED, I know the rules, just because it's been that way, doesn't mean it can't be changed. I've been actively racing for about 42 years, and I think that it sucks that the race is over for the second leaver before he get his shot at the tree. Make the second leaver earn the round, not give to him because of an archaic christmas tree that should be updated. Let's ask the question about cross talk, why was that added, the faster cars were bitching because they couldn't see the other side of the xmas tree because of blinders being put into place. Every change has been for the faster racers. I guess that they need all the help they can get.

Then, Bill sed:
"I dunno; did the second car get hit by lightning on his way to the finish line??

Why don't you figure out yet another way to muddy the waters and divert attention from the question at hand. Maybe the second driver has a heart attack... or. a blowout???

If he did, then I guess HE doesn't come back.

Then, Ed said:

Bill's smart-*** reply:
"I was enforcing rules before you got out of grade school...
You DID get out of grade school, didn't you???"

Ed's retort:
"Come on guys put the spin on it."

Bill's reply:
"Be careful what you wish for, Mister Ed....".

Billy boy:
1)The guy who red lighted comes back due to the other car crossing the centerline or outer boundary.
2)Both cars can run to the end and get their race info for the run.
3)Billy boy you're only 7 years older than me,see another bull$hit comment on your part.
Keep 'em coming.
Casey you mentioned Crosstalk".You think that was a good thing?That and all the other
electronic enhancements persuaded me to stop racing in the 90s.Turned racing into
Nintendo.

Ed Wright · 03-05-2011, 01:51 PM

Cross-talk is just another electronic crutch for the dot-nintey kids. No place in class racing. You need another crutch, a delay box, to use that, right?

bill dedman · 03-05-2011, 06:24 PM

Ed,

You make me feel so young....

What about the lightning strike????

You just won't concede the fact that you were wrong on this one.Will you?

Ed Wright · 03-05-2011, 07:11 PM

Uh, no he won't. Can't seem to accept it won't happen, but won't give up harping about it. Funny that many that leave first most of the time aren't on his band wagon, but he keeps going on, and on, and on, and on, and well, you know.....LMAO
