Here's an idea! NO red lights, NO win lights everybody races, everybody wins!
We all get trophys and Mommy takes us out for ice cream at the end of the day!

Never happen?
I dunno, when Biondo calls it adding fairness, and Brockmeyer implements it.....this may be a snowball rolling downhill

Bruce I admire your tangling with NHRA (how's that suit going?), and almost all your input, but claiming slower cars have an advantage driving the stripe?Come on, man!

I was never part of a lawsuit but have wrangled a bit with nhra. Time will tell on those matters. Maybe it's just me, after close to 20 years in slow cars, driving the stripe in an A car is more challenging than I thought it would be. Catching a car 20 feet from the stripe is a real nail biter.

I don't drive as well as most of you guys, but I sure prefer being the faster car at the stipe. Having an 8 second Candies or Cummings car suddenly show up down there is an "Oh Crap!" moment for me.
Seldom ends well for me. LOL

I figure about a year before some of you guys have to get really fired up. So enjoy your 2016 season.

If the faster car is leaving on the slow cars top bulb ,cross talk style,only difference being more delay in box, then the worst red lite rule should apply.Now if there was no cross-talk, then the worst red lite rule should not apply,simple isnt it.

If they haven't brought in other Compulink features over years such as Autostart and CrossTalk, I can't see how they'd ever implement this.

Oh, wait.

The last time I checked Stock and Super Stock cars are not allowed or want to use delay style boxes. This is not meant as a dig, but for the sake of discussion in this forum it muddies the water. We leave off our side of the tree.

I have always been one of the slow cars, all I care about is whats going on in my lane. If I go red or cut a crappy light, sucks to be me!! This is what we all signed up for when paying the entry fee, take it or leave it. If this gets implemented across the board at divisional and national events, and we all know and understand the rules it's good. There's always going to be a fast car and a slow car. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

I'm not sure what you are talking about???????????

Could you please explain your statement....

Thanx,

Mike crosstalk = .5 tree, how? Faster car leaves on slow cars light, why, is it a distraction for the faster car to leave second? How did that happen. Looks like crosstalk is a rule for the faster cars

I still believe in Valentin's Day. Class winners fill the first spots at Indy and the remaining spots in the 128 car field filled by the fastest qualifiers. Walking the knife edge with the rule book. I always get beat at my best. Tru Start no!
