    this is awful complicated! In the words of Graham Hill: "the thing is, old boy, I'm not going to do any of that. I'm just going to get in and then go as fast as I can"

    it isn't complicated at all cause brackets won't happen cause its not fair on the boys with the power....they have no patience to wait on the line, it will be head to head at the same time and just rely on a better start than your competitor, if your down on power

    as I said earlier you can do what the hell you like, this is an extra for those that want to and effects nothing else

    I'm a supporter of a league btw, it was a good idea. Why make new/preferential rules tho - the NHRA link I posted has them already made for example. Probably one of the venues has something we can use too. We should either run as before ignoring reaction time or go the whole way with dial-in times and all that.
