worst red light debate, again! - Page 2

Car A redlights

Car B crosses the centerline, .....worse , Car A gets a win ticket

Car A proceeds to the scale, is light, gets tossed

Car B had the worst infraction, but they're both still out.

I don't know how this all relates ,but it's an example of "worst"

Anyway , you guys are pretty much on the same side of this debate.You ought to quit arguing about it ..LOL

Use 'worse' if you're comparing two things: "I think eggplant is worse than squash, but that's just my opinion."

Use 'worst' if you're comparing multiple things: "I disagree. Eggplant and boiled cabbage are both vile, but squash is the worst!"

Since you guys don't have a clue................

The policy that you are attempting to correct is the policy known as "First or Worst" not first or worse.....

If you didn't understand the content of my prior sentence, feel free to make all of the grammatical corrections that you like....

I think I will sign off with...

Have a nice day....

Bob

PS.

I can't say what I want to say because it will get me tossed off of this forum...

Watch out Bob! I think Ed O'Brien stole your computer! Wow, were you an English major! No? It shows. Maybe you should look up the definition of worse/ worst first before you call us clueless.
Have a nice day! Clueless Jim

Give me an example of a "Worst red light."

Well, for example...

Car A bulbs with a -345-sec infraction. That's a .345-=sec. red light BAD

Car B bulbs with a -346-sec infraction, That's a .346-sec red light WORSE

Car C.... Oh, there is no car C. and no "Worst" red light.

There are infractions worse than a red light, such as if Car B hits the guardrail, but that's not a red light.

No such thing as a "Worst red light."

The issue of having two distinctly different ways of treating two competitors. (one the first to leave, and the other being the second to leave,) with regard to having equal "red light jeopardy," will never die, until the first red light rule is changed.

Getting it changed is up to the NHRA, and until they get some personnel in charge of rules changes, who have some integrity, it probably IS a dead issue.

More's the pity...
