Re: Red light survey
 

One more thing for the few spectators we have to not "get", right? Most casual observers think dialing, handicap starts and running too fast are dumb enough, they would love that one.
If you built a car without knowing the rules first, you should just accept the rules, you screwed up. Much like going red. If you expect everybody to agree to get a rule you and a few others don't like changed to suit you once you start racing, ....
Well, you know.

This horse died long ago. You can stop beating it now. You lost.

What class do you run?

Re: Red light survey
 

How about if both drivers go red,they`re both out. Also,if both breakout,they`re both out! Now that would make things interesting for those that seem to hold about .05 in the bank.

I have no problem with that at all. It could make for some interesting finals, that's for sure. LMAO

Re: Red light survey
 

I voted for option 3, because, for most of us, there are many more pressing issues that affect S/SS racing more than a first-worst redlight, that *might* come into play, what, 5-7% of the time over a season. Payouts, AHFS, run schedules, costs, track conditions, etc etc etc are a bigger issue that needs addressed before the redlight rule. If the rule were changed however, it wouldn't bother me.

Re: Red light survey
 

I voted for 3 also.

Ed, Was that before or after you fully understood the proposal?

Just askin'

Re: Red light survey
 

Agreed

Re: Red light survey
 

Wouldn't matter. I've heard it proposed different ways. Still don't think there is a problem.
Name me a company owner or CEO that will pay a software guy to re-write the code for a minority of guys that constantly call them corrupt crooks and idiots. Answer? Nobody. The way you guys constantly slam them and call them names, only a fool would expect them to do anything like that, especially when the majority don't want it changed. Gotta wonder what some people are thinking. Get over it.

Here we go again Bill.First off your car still has a BRACKET number on it.Second show me what's biased in the wording on the poll.
The poll is running at 72% for status quo and 28% for change.I guess when it isn't going your way it's one sided.

Re: Red light survey
 

Ed, you make my day!

You want to fix the red light rule with a change in autostart. :cool: If you have made the phone calls and know it's possible then what's the problem?

Went through this with deep staging a few years ago. (note: I have never deep staged, ever) It ain't goin to happen this way. Get the track owners on board (they are Compulink customers) you might have a fighting chance. If you can get enough tracks "across the country" to adopt the idea then NHRA will have to consider it. You still may never see it at a national or divisional until it proven at the bracket racing level.
Ohh, by the way what happened to deep staging. You can but you're on you're own. No holding the tree any more. :rolleyes:
