i agree with everyone else. i red lighted by .030 of a second i think (not looking at my slip right now). and yes, if it were a competition race, i would have lost. but disqualifying times on a FAST LIST, which is a comparison of what the CARS do and not the DRIVER, is just ridiculous. My car would have gone the 12.90 weather i waited or not. In my opinion (as well as others it seems) it is totally unfair to disqualify slips based on RT. Bad dates, i can understand as well as other inconsistencies. But actually taking people off of the list because of a red light? I'm sorry, but i didn't know i was racing other people on a car forum. I thought i was trying my best to compare car to car no matter what time someone left the line. 1320 Junkie of all people should know that the RT doesn't matter when it comes to ET's. As the 1/4 mile fast list rules state, there is no mention of RT anywhere except when timeslips are posted because that's the only piece of information where a RT is noted. There is no point in changing the rules now unless you want a bunch of unhappy racers that never knew that the reaction time counted. IMO this stipulation should have been posted before the list even started. I would like for him to post in this thread about the red lighting situation because it honestly makes no sense to account for RT's when doing a fast list. That's not my opinion, just fact.
