I remember first day of 1987 season at Mt.Park Dragway, George Poynter who was the announcer there and at Bluegrass Dragway from the sixties till it closed, said Gene Barker who was track operator had needed some firewood that winter and now the tree just has 3 ambers instead of five.LOL

Why would you want to take away more from the slower cars? There are very few left now.
If you want to do something constructive, you could lobby to bring back deep staging.

OK how's about this? It would take a real long track to do it. Both cars stage opposite each other,that's 2,640 feet apart, facing each other. They both race to the finish line. No having to turn your head 180 degrees (that will help the slow guys).Of course you'll have to move the timing boards and have an extra starter. Now that would make things interesting
What do you think Billy?.

I would'nt mind seeing both cars leave at the same time...that would take care of the first red scenario. Put a dial on each car and the best package wins...that would force all to dial honestly and eliminate excessive braking and eight second cars coming up from behind thirteen second cars at the stripe.
