Congrats to Peter Biondo and Kyle Seiple for their apparent success at innovation. It takes vision, courage, sacrifice, and commitment ... all good qualities.

"a system that systematically scorns experimentation and wipes out the raw material of innovation, is doomed over the long term"
-Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows, P. 160

The above book BTW helped to radically alter my perception of the role of sanctioning bodies in sport. Also, the book is now available online for free download in a couple different places. A GREAT book if you can get past some of the examples used.

I've been home for a couple weeks recuperating from surgery. This thread was "just what the doctor ordered." lol

Looks like it would have been in effect at least 4 times that I saw today at zmax. 3 pairs in round 2 stock and at least one that I saw in round 1 super stock.

Seemed like an unusual amount of red lights at Charlotte....

Got tired of reading all those posts, hope I don't repete any. First, S/S and Stock is a bracket race, don't think it's not. Second, this system makes everyone, fast or slow, race your tree, no easy outs. He red lites, game was over, not any more now. Ever hear of some racer dialing slower than the other guy? They won't do it, they want him to red lite first. Been that way forever. We all do it, look for the slower car to race to get any advantage.

It's about time,a system that does not improve with time is a system due to disappear. I had started a post a while back and was crusified for such suggestion. Time changes which is what we want. just because the other car is faster doesn't mean he should have an easy one, he should pluck at the tree also. I hope NHRA moves on this system soon. They sure were quick at removing deep staging.CR
