Ed, I wonder how many voters are legitimate, active S & SS racers right now?

I always get the head start. When I built trhe car I knew the rules, I don't think it's right fror someone that built a car knowing the rules. To pitch a b1tch to get them changed.
Leave well enough alone. And I always get the spot.

I usually do too. Doesn't bother me. If I go red, I screwed myself. I'm upset with myself. I take responsibility for my mistakes. Don't really care about the other guy.

I think the other guy should have to take responsibility for HIS mistakes, too..
as it stands, if you give him a free ride by red lighting first, he never has to take responsibility, like you did. What sense does tht make?

It's not "well enough" at all; it's screw job for the first car to leave.

And there's no justification for it.

And that "poll" is so one-sided, the way it's presented, as to render any results from it worthless.

Sean Isn't. Can we send him to Afghanistan? The Mexican's don't deserve to be punished.

Some don't get that if the rule is changed there will be fewer dual red lights. The faster guys will be more careful when they see the first go red. If I go red I'm pissed at me, still don't care about the other guy. Suit me just fine if both go out. Thing to do is not go red.

This is one of the constant misunderstandings of what would happen were things to change: The faster car would NOT see anyone's red light. They would only see a green, even if the slower car fouled.

The only red light that would ever be presented, would be the one that fouled worst, and that would happen only after both cars had left the starting line.
