He had to explain it to me three or four times before I "got it," so ingrained was the "old" system in my so-called brain.

I'd LOVE to take credit for having thought this up, but...
I'M NOT THAT SMART! Obviously...

But, Tthanks for the kind words...

Well Bill,

We now have three things in common, we both agree with the double redlight system, our families (at least my dad's side of my family--Newport/Little Rock--& you by residence) share the same state, and we both have been involved (either as a live fan or racer) in drag racing for about the same length of time (34yrs for me). That's ok about your not wanting to take the credit for this ideal, but I hope that by your mentioning it, that the members of the Stock/Super Stock rules committee will present this thought to the powers that be in Glendora, or also to the IHRA's headquarters as well....one can only hope, however this one comes from the same person who still wishes that Glendora will do a reshuffling of the current divisional layout (much the same way that the NFL did 3-5yrs ago)? However, just like that one I'm not going to hold my breath on this one either, because like that guy and you felt, it's too logical to work!!!

Have a good weekend, and whoever is fortunate enough to be racing this weekend, have fun and good luck to you all...wish I were there!!!
