I thought I'd read where it said the first cars light would initially show green until the other car left. Thus leaving the faster car with the assumption that the slower car had a green light making the faster car try to cut his regular light. If that's the case I like it. But I may be in the minority I don't know.

If there is a logical argument against this method, I'd love to hear it. There have been some unnecessary timing system changes over the years, e.g. CrossTalk, but this one is long overdue.

Friend of mine runs a GT/AA car. Last year he matched up with a W/SA at a combo event and the slow car had such a lead that he was well past half track on the fast car's green. If the W car had a red light, he would have been on the track for around 6 seconds before the win light came on in the AA lane. Could make for some interesting "conversations" on the return road. Maybe extra security jobs?

Guys with the real fast cars that always leave last won't like losing that advantage. I honestly can't see how anyone could really say it's wrong. Don't show the red until both cars have left.

Ed, read your quote again, fast guys will be against, and how many things in drag racing are not implemented, even though it is the right thing to do.

Why are they doing, dwindling car counts in bracket races,

Just the thought of it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I must be getting old.
