So when the redlite comes on for the slower car what's stopping the faster car from just waiting on the green?

---

Now there is a valid point us foot brake races would have a chance to react ?? maybe but you get focused on your own deal. The 50,000 worth of preditor F16 electronics guys wood not like that as they have the system and computers locked in and on automatic launch so would have to fumble and bumble to abort the launch sequence!! LOL!!

I think the fast car is at some disadvantage of red lighting more often having to wait but overall it may be the first at the most disadvantage of an early red???
Changing the rule may make it a huge advantage to be slow car!!

Unbelievable, I just cannot understand why anyone would be against correcting a rule that places slower racers at a disadvantage everytime he stages against a faster car. It's just pure logic that says the faster cars have an advantage with that rule. I can definitely understand why the fast guys do not want the rule changed.

I have always been a supporter of this change and in discussions with NHRA several years ago provided them with results of a Monte Carlo simulation which proved without a doubt that the faster car has the advantage. They just wouldn't listen.

HERE'S HOPING IT FINALLY GETS CHANGED!!!!

Here is hoping it doesnt


Not a single good thing could be said for making that change.. High performance makers would sell less because everybody could live with a 13 second car, there would be no reason to spend money in the economy building roll cages, buying trick heads, etc, etc, etc.

Oh, and the 28 fans in the stands at a bracket race watching 7 and 8 and 9 second cars..expect that to be about 5 fans, watching 13 and 15 second cars lumber down the track


I dont know how this subject could possibly have even come up

Um....other than the "moronic statement" part...Have you ever bracket raced?....1/3 of the race is at the big end...

i was going to ask you the same thing, but someone else beat me to it...

ask anyone that is successful at bracket racing, (not the pinks all out heads up stuff), but the grass roots, sportsman, super stock, stock, hadicapped bracket racing crowd... ask them if they think its cheating to ensure you dont break out.
you are the only person i have ever heard say they thought it was cheating to get on the brakes, the only one EVER... which is why i'm curious about why you think that, seriously, you throw it out enough, but you dont explain... you meet alot of opposition about it not being cheating but part of handicapped racing, and all you say is its the worst kind of cheating... HOW? WHY is it wrong in your head?

do you go to the tower when you race and complain if someone dumps on you as them cheating?

are you seriously saying that you never ever lift? you can be 5 cars on someone and not lift going through the lights???

man i wish i raced at your home track, i'd follow you up every time, the people that know and UNDERSTAND bracket racing already know what I would be doing to you...

Lifting is one thing slamming your brakes on is another..and quite a few of the guys i race with consider it cheating...what you would do to me at my track??...maybe losing??...
