Common Sense GT car rules revision!

Do you know that a lot of faster guys go ahead and leave when the slower car goes red? No need to sit there on the trans brake for nothing, you have already won. A lot of the second red lights would never happen if the rules were changed.

Geesh Ed,

Now you are telling me that fine blinder thinga do doesn't actually prevent one driver from seeing the others tree? Even if you are correct, no reason BOTH drivers don't get the same chance to red light. Isn't it first or worst for the other infractions? And it wouldn't cost any money, its in the software.

And Lynn, I've got this really big hammer, sorry I mean adjusting tool, to get the scoop to fit!! When are we doing it? Gotta come and see my aunt soon anyway.

Some block the other side of the tree, some (smaller ones) don't. Many very good drivers don't use one at all. The slower car leaves first, right? If one doesn't do it first, they would go with worst. The slower car leaves first, so would go red first if the handicap is big enough. If they said "worst or first" it might be different. More often than not, I leave first. We seem to be run over with eight second hood scoop cars around here. Some of them only go red if I do. I asked one "If I go red, do you go ahead and leave?" He says "why not? No need to sit there getting my car hotter." Makes sense to me. My blinder does block the other side of the tree, so I never know if a slower car went red unless I look at the score board when the front end comes down. If I forget that, I find out when I get the time slip.

Ed , That may or may not be happening, but if it is ,that's one more advantage to the faster car . Doesn't sound like a good reason to NOT change the system.
...And ,could you do me a favor? Look on DRC for the last time someone left 1-2 seconds early, after the first car red-lighted.
