Hopefully gas stays high because..well...that's the way it is. Quit crying, just build a car that gets better gas mileage. After all, you bought a means of transportation that runs on gas, you deserve to lose (money at the pump). You knew the rules, you should have gotten one that runs on water. What am I talking about, I don't even care how much gas costs, there are bigger problems that need to be addressed.

Happy Friday!

Good post, Bobby
That's why I'm here...for the dialogue . It makes no difference to me..I win either way.

Ed , before the door hits you in the butt, I still think this poll is like doing a poll about Democratic politicians, in NYC..You know how that would go.. Take care, buddy!

Democracy sucks....as does "the majority rules".

Two wolves and a sheep, voting on what to have for dinner.....or two males and a female, voting on the legalization of rape...may not lead to a very equitable outcome.

I believe that the worst red light should be tried at the bracket level first to determine if it would really go over before its considered anywere else.

The next thing people will be wishing for is to race Pinks style. By that I mean making lifting illegal! If you get caught lifting off the throttle or hitting the breaks, you are disqualified.....making it illegal to "hold."

Sean you rock dude...LMAO! I couldn't have said it better if I tried....oh but Mr. Ed would think I was whining & bitching again......he's just mad because my Cavalier made mincemeat of his Gremlin in sales.

Mr. Ed you're entitled to your oppinion, but I'm entitled to mine. As I said in my last post If I had the bucks, I'd be after either John Friel's Hemi Dart, a Dart like Gary Hansen's or Darren Smiths, or possible a Hemi (or Max Wedge) Belvedere/Savoy/Coronet from '63-65....Bob Marshall, Dennis Mauer, Steve Bagwell, and the Rettig Brothers, had some bad-to-the-bone versions of those awesome cars!!!

So now what've you got to say Ed.....I'll go to another topic next time!!! You can have the last word...I could care less!!!

Wish I'd said that...

The only instance a "first read light" makes any sense is in a heads-up race. DUH...

actually there is a logical argument against it. If the first breakout were always the loser there would be less incentive to try and take the stripe in a bracket race. As it stands right now both cars go to the line intending to take a shot at the tree.

bill dedman · 03-04-2011, 11:52 PM

You may well be right, Chad. I could agree with that.

But, even if it were true, that would be no reason to condone what we have now, back on the starting line.

What you have suggested is a nebulous, iffy, potential COULD happen scenario, steeped in uncertainty and ambiguity. Possible, yes, but subject to a thousand potential uncertainties. COULD happen, for sure...

But...

This red light rule that we have is an iron-clad certainty, every time.

You bulb first, you're OUT, thus depriving the second car of his chance to do what you just did, and maybe worse.

I think everybody should have his own chance to do that (red light.)

Can't think of any logical, sensible, reason why he shouldn't. Can you?
