It should be changed. It would make the rules of NHRA and IHRA if nothing else, consistent. Aren't we all looking for consistency? Jim

Just my opinion. I am entitled to it since I have been class racing for 45 years now. Right Ed? Please send me your phone number so I can call you and get tips on how to improve my starting line abilities!

It's "working," to the extent that it's not obvious enough that it's "unfair," that enough people who realize its favoritism, currently cause disturbances on the starting lines, but the more people come to realize that it's an easy fix, and one that is long overdue, and MORE unfair to a certain segment of the field, the more likely that is to happen.
