Re: worst red light debate, again!
The first drag race I attended was 1963 at Stuttgart Ark. For handicaps they gave car lengths to the slower car and left together on the same flag drop. They both had the same chance at jumping the start back in 1963.
Between the weather(twisters & rain) and earthquakes and this message board Bill doesn't have time to sleep. BTW Bill, I was in Conway in the 60's attending a Boy Scout camp out across from Ward's and Virco when most of east Conway was destroyed. Conway tornado/earthquake capital of Arkansas.

Your response assumes NHRA is stupid and not capable of forward thinking. You also make an assumption if NHRA made or did not make a decision, it was publicly known. I would argue that would never be the case. It doesn't happen in this day of instant access so I see no way it would have gone beyond board room doors. The scenario I presented is one I would devise if I were starting a "new" handicap form of racing and wanted to move the sport forward. You also have a key note of NHRA providing a "level playing field". Where is that published and to what is that term assigned too? I know this, NOTHING in life is "level" except maybe birth. After that, all the rules change!

Re: worst red light debate, again!
Bill, to answer your often-asked question, NO, there is NO good reason why we have the current system. Anyone with an IQ over twenty can see that the rule is unfair. Happy?
The thing that bothers the majority of us, is the fact that you and a few others bring this old subject up time and time again. We're just sick of reading it. Myself (and others) have politely asked you, and people of your ilk, to please stop posting this stuff every few months, get off your ***, and actually go out and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. And, while you're at it, get NHRA to fix the other issues that are wrong with our sport, issues much more important than a first or worst redlight rule that might come into play 5% of the time, or less. Fix the payouts, fix the rising costs/fees, fix the run schedule, fix the AHFS, fix the track conditions, fix Class Eliminations, and all the other nonsense NHRA has shoved upon us over the past 5-10 years.
