Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
They were based on existing, standard tree events, as TruStart has only been used at the two Spring Fling events.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
TrueStart is a must if your looking for fairness. No way did I earn that round. Tex had a way better package then me. In my opinion he was holding just the right amount and with a near perfect light he would have put me on the trailer, even if I was green. I did an absolutely terrible job and don't deserve that round win. I guess I'm just one of those fast guys in the minority that think TrueStart time has come.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
Kenny, did ya see his red? I believe that makes a difference in the equation so it's impossible to include that data for a debate.
Hell yeah, I'm for it, no worries!

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
I posted on this method, long before it was called TRUSTART several years ago, and asked that same question, repeatedly, usuallly, with nothing but ridicule from Ed Fernandez, who, although he ran a car in a "slow" class and would have benefitted from the change, was steadfastly against it.
Finally, one person suggested that that the first car to leave, enjoying the benefits of a "clean tree," would have that as an advantage and the first red light system as it still exists, would be an equalizing factor. Other than that, NOBODY ever gave me any legitimate reason. why it should not be changed. NOBODY,.. And I beat this drum for months... probably years. Long enough that even ~I~ got tired of it. So, I gave up... It never had any kind of positive response from the people on this board (except for Jim Wahl and a couple more,) until Peter Biondo and Kyle Seipel recently suggested the very same thing. I was gratified when they did. As an aside, the whole concept that is TRUSTART came from a bracket racer in Fremont, California (definitely not ME,) named Bob Mikulic. He raced superchaged Studebakers... He explained it to me in detail (I didn't "get it",) back in the 1990's... It finally sunk in...

Hey Bernie, I wish I could have used it as an excuse. I was leaving early no matter what Tex did. |
