Red Light Madness (Bristol)
Almost every losing red light in Stock & Super Stock was in the Rt. lane. And then you have the dead heat in Pro Stock and it goes to the Lt. lane. ??? Talking about having to race the track!

We had the same issue at the spring fling there last month. Lots of red lights in the right lane.
Now the dead heat is not actually a dead heat. the computer goes far ther than the printer shows Chip |

Was it my imagination or did it look like the nose of the car body tripped the beams and not the front wheels. Same with Funny Car.

Re: Red Light Madness (Bristol)
If I remember right, they are 6" high. They have been that way for many years. It got changed after a race where the car that got there first triped the beams with his wheels and the other car triped it with the nose and got the win. So to try to eliminate that from happening again, they raised the beam so everyone would trip it with the nose. I could see though that some cars could still trip it with the tire if there car sets up high and has a lot of suspension travel under acceleration.

Mike Dunn said on the ESPN 3 live coverage on Sunday that they are not supposed to say anything, but in the event of a dead heat, the left lane always gets the win. |
