Whoever he is, he is an idiot.

Jeff, are you familiar with the saying, "the fox is watching the chicken coop"?

You wrote:
"Because the guy red lit and eliminated himself from competition. He left before he was allowed to go."

So, when would you see the other side of that coin; when the SECOND guy to go would red light and make it so the first guy to go never had a chance to red light?"

Answer that,please.

No more comments, just answer that question.

If you can't, or won't, you join the ranks of the other posters on this board, who, when confronted with the unanswerable, logical, real-world questions that expose this one-sided rule for what it is, a "gimmee" for the second car to leave just ignore the question, like it never existed

You have aligned yourself with people like the two Eds, who refuse to even acknowledge, much less answer the questions like "Who would be damaged by this "new" rule," or "Why shouldn't EVERYONE face the SAME red-light jeopardy, every time they come to the line?" And "Why should ANYONE enjoy the kind of immunity from red-light jeopardy that this First Red Light rule affords them?"

You won't answer any of them, just like Fernandez and his namesake won't answer them, because you CAN'T without admiting that you're wrong. The soulution to this lopsided rule is to change the wording from "FIRST" (which a slower car has no control over) to WORSE, something that EVERYONE can contrrol... just like in breakouts. That's IT.

Nothing else.

Ask the genius at NHRA "WHO would be damaged with such a change?"

He won't answer, either.... because the answer is NOBODY.

The FINAL question is, why should this rule NOT be changed?

A multitude of rhetoric from board members has filled this topic for weeks, but no answer to THAT question, from anyone.

Just efforts to discredit people who post for an increase in fairness of the rules.....

I really don't understand that. We all love drag racing. WHY shouldn't we ALL want it to be as fair as it can be?
