What exactly is this instant green supposed to accomplish, If your blocking it's instant yellow now. Just pick a bulb and leave on it ?

I could see an experienced blinder driver, that is already tough, being just as tough at night now. There would be no amber light bleed over. The guys not doing this would be even further behind, ie. the learning curve to get your car moving as quick as possible. I agree, that the lighter cars will have an advantage as well.

PS; I kinda liked the idea at first until I thought about the outcome

Great idea Don! It adds excitement. I'm disappointed Comp doesn't have it either. Since handicap racing is necessary to promote car counts, we must highlight headsup runs to keep the thrill alive for S/SS. 😎

Deep staging is allowed

Less red lights for certain, but a whole lot more crap lights as well. Just seems like a terrible idea to even consider. The tire companies would likely be stocking up on 22-24" tall front tires if this ever happened. Hopefuly this is just "silly season"/Christmas hang over talk.
