I raced my 55 Chev SS/PA for 20 years leaving and red lighting first on a clean tree. Learned to usually cut a decent light...usually green.
The "First" rule seemed unfair. "Worst" made sense. Last couple of years
I have been fortunate enough to race my 2012 SS/AAA Super Cobra Jet usually leaving last. The first red light rule benefit has been completely balanced by the learning curve of leaving last on an unclean tree. Timing/delay of tree/ visual distractions are new challenges I am learning to overcome. The rules as they currently stand seem to be reasonably fair from my new perspective.This will not change when I race the 55 Chev.
Other differences between the two cars are for a different topic...both are totally fun!
