perfect reason to get tree fixed

I guess you`d have a point if I red lit alot,but I don`t. I go red in elims about 2 times a year and my average R/T is around a .030 for the entire season,T.O. and elims. Like I said,the rules made me become a better racer on the tree because a slow car varies so bad in ET,at times you need to make up for it on the starting line.

Do I feel bad when someone red lights against me? Hell no! I`m kind of fond of it,and when they break out against me too!

Someone who can remember, please comment on this but as I recall (long, long ago) there was a time when the first red light locked out the other side and two red lights were not possible??

Scott, that is how it used to be on the old Crondek tree. I was "retired" when it changed. Both could red light when I "came back".

If your gonna cry about something, make it something you can't do anything about, like bogus hp factors. Those aren't your fault. Going red is.

Okay....and just how does that relate to this debate?

NHRA, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. To allow this lunacy of “first or worst” foul start during handicap racing to continue is borderline criminal.


You may as well alter pro racing to this: The only foul starts that count during any pro race, where both cars leave at the same time, is when the lower qualified car red lights. This would make about as much sense.


It is time to fix this to THE WORST RED LIGHT IN EVERY RACE, WHETHER HEADS UP OR HANDICAP, IS THE LOSER.

Anything less is nothing more than welfare and favoritism to faster cars.

Everyone knows the rules when you start playing this game and you build a car. If you don't like the rules, why start? Try fishing or golf

Great post Chad -

Nothing much to add after that, but I will!
