Re: perfect reason to get tree fixed
 
I bracket race as does everone else, but this isn't the old days any longer, the software could easily be put into the tree and it would make for better racing. Think about your cell phones now, you can monitor your house and know where your loved ones are by just pushing an app on the device. The first or worst rule is old style thinking. I would prefer to know that I won a race and that the wasn;t given to me because the other driver fouled in front of me. The faster car isn't an issue, the faster car may become a handicap. Also, look at the field in Pomona, 15% of the field are A/SA, how many fast cars can there be at one race, that would also change with more of a diversed field.

No free rides on red lights, you don't know who goes red untill both drivers leave the tree.
Since this isn't such a good topic, lets add no reaction times or increments down track.

The only change I would like is for me to be able to put 5 million watt strobe lights pointed at the other driver when I leave the line.That would (As Lynn Mc Carty used to say) level
the playing field.

hardtobeanywhere, Define "worse" please.


Ed Wright, Try that when you give up a tenth spot.

Why would you want to do that ? would'nt that be like "old Drag racing" ? Leave it alone ,there is a lot more to worry about than re- inventing drag racing!!!!!

As I crossed the center line and hit the wall, I feel 'worse' than the guy that just redlighted against me......

This very thing happened to me last weekend. And if i had been green i would have won . It's my fault i went red PERIOD! Why change anything butt, the amount of time we practice. Why do some (,that wen't in that race ) feel the need to change anything. Practice more complain less.
