Question Re: worst red light debate, again!

Everything will happen just like it does now, except the red light won't be displayed until both cars have left the line. So you can judge your light off the green just like before.

Careful Toby, that makes sense (just like what Bill has been saying as well does)! However, they've shown me clearly with all of the recent enhancements how they (NHRA), care about us sportsman racers by letting our one true media outlet "Inside Drag Racing", go the way of the dinosaur...

I saw the light of what Bill's saying when I first read this topic 2yrs ago, but unlike other things that were changed over time, this probably won't for the simple reason that the majority of people it would possibly benefit, don't want it to change, and majority rules. Case in point: Back in the 80's when Ford was going to place their beloved "Mustang" name on a joint venture car between them and Mazda, the Mustang lovers united (in large numbers), and told Ford you better not tarnish the great American name of Mustang by placing its letters on what became the Probe. Chevrolet on the other hand was more like the detractors (on this thread to Bill), as they insulted the great name of Nova, by placing it on a joint venture product with Toyota, before it later became the Geo Prizm. The Nova lovers didn't protest it and/or weren't large in their numbers, so to Chevrolet no harm, no foul...sad, very sad. Numbers matter, and those who think this makes since are far outnumbered by those who don't, or don't care, so it becomes wishful thinking. However who knows, I can remember when stockers didn't allow wheelie bars on them and that changed, so who knows? It's worth a call to try and get the Glendora group to consider it?
