Junior; I appreciate your comments. You have been around a while and are used to the status quo.

Most folks are, too.

I am not a Stock or Super Stock Eliminator racer, and this thread started out as a "Pro" subject thread. It was not my intention to turn it into yet another personal soapbox for my opinion. I apologize for hijacking my own thread for just another rant on this subject. But, if an unfair rule is egregious enough to cause people to sell their cars and buy a different (faster) car in order to avoid it, don't you think that is the tail wagging the dog?

Especially, in view of the fact that the whole problem would go away with just an adjustment to the existing software... and a rule change: It would become just "worst red light loses," instead of "first." What is wrong with that???

I can't see how that is unfair to anyone; "universal" red light jeopardy.
The same for every racer.

Unless NHRA figures out a way to make some money from it, it ain't gonna happen though... lol!

And, Bunkster, thanks for your support. You've had a good grasp on this situation for a long time; your comments have not gone unnoticed by me.

This subject affects me in an indirect way; My bracket car suffers the same "first-to-leave" skewed red light jeopardy as you guys do because these little Bracket races follow the example set by NHRA insofar as protocol is practiced. My situation won't change until NHRA changes the way THEY do this... that's my stake in this.
