So no one is really going to know what kind of light they just cut? The yellow just hangs whether it's green or red?

The light will go green and change if there is a problem with 2 red lights. You will still get a reaction time.

Yes William, I would think they count alot more because you leave first. Thanks also to Alan Freese for putting this topic in perspective. Now if they would take Jim Bailey's suggestion (1 inch diameter fuel line for the fuel cars) all cars could run quarter mile again, what a radical concept.

This is funny, folks are sure thy don't want it but not sure how it works.

Let's face it, most fast dial cars will not want it, slower dial cars will want it. Personal agenda at work, then the insults, tantrums, stomping feet, etc.

Kyle and Peter came up with it, they need not show a resume to justify anything.

Bob, under the circumstances I thought your opinion for or against might be interesting.

It seems like this tru start idea is trying to level the playing field then how about this idea since NHRA is the only Major Sports Organization that allows Professionals to compete against amateurs should be addressed to create a level playing field .
