What I was getting at is the people complaining about worst red light rule should probably be complaining about worst break out rule also. Worst break out rule applies at finish line so why doesn't worst red light work on starting line? Both parts of track are very important in winning. First to go red loses, so first to breakout should be the loser using the current red light theory. |

This is 4th round in super stock. If truestart was in effect the outcome would be reversed. |

Don Keen also fell to Abe Loewen in round 1 of SS, although Loewen's red was worse.

The one NHRA Class I can see affected the most would be Comp Eliminator.

If I am spotting a slower car, and catch a glimpse of their red light, I just leave. I'm not sitting there on the 2 step for nothing. I win, I'll go down there and practice putting a couple of feet on them at the stripe. My red will most always be worse than theirs. Depending on the handicap as to how much. I'm not the only one that does that. It may not reverse as many losses as some say. Since I normally leave first, I would still be in favor. I think if the red light display were delayed it would put an end to that. The worst red light rule, with the red light display delayed until after the second car leaves could not hurt a thing. Probably more fair. Guys with eight second cars may not be in favor for obvious reasons. Can't really argue it would not be fair, IMHO.
