Well if we're going there why not go by who has the best light? I've been chased and been doing the chasing I fail to see the need for a rule change. Years ago when there were no reaction times on ET slips how many times did you shake your head and say " man how did I lose that race?" Now I have to agree it is not good to have the first shot at redlighting, however if we start asking for rule changes like this what will be the next "problem?" that we need a rule change for?Being the faster car does have it's advantages....and disadvantages. Some of the quicker cars are more dependant on the track"being there" also having the guy in full view the entire run can make you start deciding your finish line plan too soon, the lists go on on both sides. I hope most of you don't want something like S.P. started in IHRA with things being decided by "best package" well maybe they should go to that best package wins no matter what. Bottom line is first or second shot at the tree I doubt that even if this rule were implemented it would really change the outcome of many races. Just my thoughts. Joe
