Good or Bad Idea
 
Wayyy back when handicap racing used to be a 5 yellows then the green, than switched to a 3 yellow and a green.

Would it be a good or bad idea to switch to: 1 Yellow than the Green.

Might cut down on Red Lights.....

Essentially a pro tree. No problem here.

Run your car in Super Street one time, see how you like that tree. That is a .5 pro lite, just what you are describing.

we use to run one yellow and green back in the old AHRA & IHRA days. Who all remembers those day?

Well, it would do away with pretty much every Stocker from O or P on down.

The guys that are using a blinder are used to that scenario. That's how I race.

Or the 77 T/SA Gremlin which cuts decent lights when blocking.....might just be a special car.

tree. deep staging was allowed. other wise you were very late!!!!
this was before trans brakes were invented. also, when super gas first came out, a stick car was beating up on automatics, some one invented trans brakes. leveled playing field.

A far more serious problem is the insanity of continuing a “first” red light system in handicapped races.
