Unless it's the final round at the U.S. Nationals, and you're the slower car, and you bulb with a near-telepathic-.999... while your faster competitor has a -.213, but, goes home with the money and the Wally...

Then, it becomes a big deal.

Has this ever hapened? I don't know, and the likelihood of it happening is small.

But it COULD.

And when/if it does, I hope it's Ed Fernandez, and his Gremlin, leaving first.
Oh booo hooo hoooo you've damaged my self esteem.I'll never be the same.

Ed,
I apologize for damaging your self-esteem with my flawed math.There's no excuse for a stupid mathematical error like that. My bad.

What I MEANT to say, to illustrate my point, was; the first car to leave has a near-telepathic red light (-.001) while the next car to leave has a worse infraction (-.021) but, due to this antiquated timing system, goes home the winner.

If you think there's anything logical, desirable, or fair about that, I'd like to hear it.

I too, keep looking for logical reasoning here . It keeps me coming back ,often.

Most of the time , all I see is personal attacks or red herring issues.

I f someone wants to make the case the the faster cars are already under too many disadvantages and the current red light system helps even things out, I'd like to hear THAT.

Mark, doesn't matter. Not going to happen. I don't care either way, but I'm not stupid enough to get all bent out of shape over it, and think NHRA or IHRA is ever going to spend the time or money to change it.
