How about if both drivers go red,they`re both out. Also,if both breakout,they`re both out! Now that would make things interesting for those that seem to hold about .05 in the bank.

I have no problem with that at all. It could make for some interesting finals, that's for sure. LMAO

I voted for option 3, because, for most of us, there are many more pressing issues that affect S/SS racing more than a first-worst redlight, that *might* come into play, what, 5-7% of the time over a season. Payouts, AHFS, run schedules, costs, track conditions, etc etc etc are a bigger issue that needs addressed before the redlight rule. If the rule were changed however, it wouldn't bother me.

Wouldn't matter. I've heard it proposed different ways. Still don't think there is a problem.
Name me a company owner or CEO that will pay a software guy to re-write the code for a minority of guys that constantly call them corrupt crooks and idiots. Answer? Nobody. The way you guys constantly slam them and call them names, only a fool would expect them to do anything like that, especially when the majority don't want it changed. Gotta wonder what some people are thinking. Get over it.

I agree with you Mike that there are more pressing issues that affect S/SS racing more than this, but does Glendora seem to care about the more pressing issues? I think not given that in just the last 3yrs:

1. Entry fees for national events have increased $65 bucks...from $240 to $305!

2. Indexes were lowered by 3 tenths of a second.

3. Oil down penalties will be accessed against us now (even though most of them are caused by racers in other classes...mainly the pros).

4. Contingency posting dollars have gone down, but....

5. The regulations for Automatic tranny racer contingencies has gone up.

I could name more, but I named enough reasons, since none of them seem to matter.

Gary your lack of comprhension of numbers is incredible.The 33 votes was offset by the votes for basicly leaving things alone.
The percentage has stayed more or less the same since the poll was a few hours old.It's been at 28% for your welfare rules change.
Stop using liberal/progressive math.

I wasn't referring to percentages like you were Mr. Ed, I was counting vote totals per each category....but since you have to go by percentages, I find it intriguing that the percentage of those who think like you has shrunk, and those who think like me (and the other topic preferer's), has grown. I also think it amusing that the deficit of voters between my selection and yours (in actual votes) is shrinking...makes me wonder how it might be if there was no third choice...just like some of the past elections where a third candidate negated a chance for the loser of the election to actually win instead....I'll stick with my liberal/progressive math (thank you very much), because at least when I spell comprehension, I make certain to add both letter e's to it...lol!!!
