Where are the lower class cars?

And who wants to deliberately choose a ("slow") car that runs a class that can be unfairly screwed by the first red light rule, most of the time they race (handicapped races)???

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, just like what happened to Ed F. at his last national event, if you run enough rounds as a first-to-leave car, some faster car who gets a free ride when you red light could possibly go on to win the event. People see that and think, "why me"? As, well they should...

Until equal red light jeopardy is a fact for every car, I think the exodus from the lower classes will continue. It's just one more contributing factor to the disadvantages of running a "slow" car...

I promise not to write more about this; you've all heard my rant, but I couldn't believe that no one had mentioned it...
