Top officials in the Obama administration are appalled.
HEAD FOR THE HILLS BILL.

That's really funny Ed, and goes perfectly along with your typical M.O. to dazzle 'em with distractions, and baffle 'em with bull****; do whatever you can to keep attention away from the real question of how this lopsided rule ever survived THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS of screwing the second car to leave, without getting fixed.

I attribute that to people getting comfortable with it to the extent that they just never considered the effect that a change COULD have, if the second car to leave had a worse red light than the first, AND WAS, SOMEHOW held accountable for it!

I know I never gave it a second thought. I was too steeped in tradition.

By the way, this "worse red light" system is in no way, MY IDEA! I'm not that smart... by a long shot. That much should be obvious, by now....

As best I can tell, it came from a guy in Fremont, California who used to run a '51 Stude in NHRA Stock, until it was legislated out of competition.

He put a blower on it, and ran Brackets with it for many years. Robert Mikulic.

He explained this "worse red light" system to me one day, and I thought he was nuts.

It took me about a month of deliberating to finally understand that what he was suggesting made sense.

Some people seem to understand it, and some people don't. Took me awhile. Guess it takes all kinds....
