Then why are you asking for a change, or at least proposing it? No one just want to make such a major change "because." You must have some logical reasoning for proposing the move to make S/SS pro-tree classes.

I'm not knocking you for offering the opinion, but I would like to know your reasoning.

Try asking santa for a practice tree and use it instead of wasting your time posting B.S. If you are not cutting the lights you need on a full tree the pro tree is not going to help you or hurt your competion ! Alittle red too much this season Mr Don ???

In order to steer this discussion in the direction that I think it should go,I would like to ask some of the drivers of VERY slow reacting cars a question.

What techniques would you generally use in order to "cut" a light?

I drove a U/SA wagon at Indy in 2004.

If you saw the last yellow in that car (the way it was set-up),I don't think you would be happy with the reaction time,no matter who was driving it!

Daryl, I drove a 17-18 second HF/SA for three years. It only had 20" slicks on the front, so I could leave on the bottom bulb (seeing the bottom bulb), shallow staged, and still be red. I adjusted RPM for rollout differences. I normally launched at 2200 rpm. I drove Cap't Jack's wagon a few times in 2000, I'm pretty sure I left on the bottom bulb in that car also.

If this is the case,(and I certainly believe you),then Don Kennedy needs to explain once and for all why he started this thread in the first place.I really don't get it then.
