I have known Neil for a long time he has discussed and addressed this matter for many years.
Still remember when Bill Kost, (RIP), addressed this matter to NHRA many times and also sent a letter I drafted for him in the late 1990's to higher ups in Glendora and all the Division Directors.
I also believe that in the early days of the internet, Bill also asked Toby Lang to post a poll asking the question either on AOL or the former Dale Rethke website. Cannot recall the final results of the voting, however, I recall the fast cars were against it too.
At the time, Bill's position was when a slower car turns the red light first, is giving a free test and tune pass to the faster car.
The verbal response by NHRA to Bill's letter was they may consider it if the technology by the timing/Christmas tree manufacturer was available.
