Ok folks, I'm confused..
Does this new timing system mean I can launch whenever I feel like it??
Can I still red light?? I don't have to rush to stage? If so, where is the
motivation to risk a red light? Can I back up after the light turns green
and get a longer run?
I agree with Sam, (I think), the real race is in class competition. Here
each driver puts forth his best effort to WIN the class. All variables apply
pretty evenly across a class and throughout a heat.
Reaching the Challenge, for anyone other than class winners is a crap
shoot, and due to things like PAX, breakouts, cold vs warm tires, and so on;
"Luck" becomes the predominant variable to challenge sucess. The Challenge
is practically a separate event, I have always considered them bonus rounds.
I'm glad we are getting a new system. One that gives all sorts of new
information, but I don't see any reason to change the way we time normal
class competition runs. I hope I'm not just being resistant to change..
