I See The Light!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hi All,

I posted the explanation below on 09/07/2007 and it still is the answer to the problem:

************************************************** *********************************

I just had a vision........

It's not FIRST OR WORST RED LIGHT it's who left first relative to their own lane against their own dial in.

The rule would still be FIRST RED LIGHT LOSES only the lights and the lanes would be looked at separately based on the dial in.

Everything would stay the same FIRST RED LIGHT LOSES.

Is NHRA willing to take a giant step and right this wrong?

Bob

I guess that dealing with NHRA is a lot like breeding elephants..........

Everything happens at a high level with a great deal of bellowing and it takes 2 years for results....

on the other hand, maybe never.

Chad, if NHRA cared about tradition, the '55 - '57 Chevy's would still be running stock elim.

I wish they were

well one of the advantages of building a higher class stocker or SS car has always been your opponents opportunity to hand you the race by going red first. I would think that in addition to the crate motor classes, stock gt, etc, this would be one more reason to not go race IHRA, especially if NHRA doesn't change it as well (they won't). Its tradition, ever since the first handicapped start. If they want to apply the change to bracket racing, fine. but leave class racing alone

edit: I was listing the reason as a reference for those who are always looking for a reason to not race IHRA. Our main reason is only one race close by.
