That could be real fun as well.

Perhaps double breakout - both loose would lead to fewer breakouts.

Not suggesting just commenting.

How about just leave it alone like it has been and move on? AHFS needs more work than any of this jibberish.

Do we really have a problem? Does anybody or could anybody come up with some hard facts. How many rounds of eliminations at all divisional and national events were there double red lights and of those how many would have been affected or changed by having try-start.

Current stats don't prove anything, the faster car can see the red light in the other lane and can have an effect on their reaction. I don't personally care either way about this issue but you can't use previous stats to make a point.

I agree. I think there will be more fast cars redlighting in bottom bulb racing with Tru Start because they won't see if the slow car has redlit until the fast car leaves.

It is possible Jeff. At the Spring Fling in Vegas this past April with Tru Start being used, I left first every time by a fair amount. I went red on three different occasions and guess what? None of my opponents went red, they were all green. When they left, my red light came on and their win light came on. This was in Pro ET, bottom bulb racing.

Still doesn't prove anything, they knew they had won at that point and could have just backed off knowing they had already won. I still say that past stats prove nothing in this matter.
