Re: Tru start poll Division 6
Neil you just nailed this, a majority of the A,B,C, cars are against tru start but it could work in their advantage when running against the newer cars...blown mustangs,copos, and the remaining drag packs...

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I just love it when someone agrees with me...lol....I don`t look at this situation as advantages or disadvantages..Just the LONG overdue implementation of a level playing field. I blame NHRA for not addressing this inequity a LONG time ago............

Still remember when Bill Kost, (RIP), addressed this matter to NHRA many times and also sent a letter I drafted for him in the late 1990's to higher ups in Glendora and all the Division Directors. I also believe that in the early days of the internet, Bill also asked Toby Lang to post a poll asking the question either on AOL or the former Dale Rethke website. Cannot recall the final results of the voting, however, I recall the fast cars were against it too. At the time, Bill's position was when a slower car turns the red light first, is giving a free test and tune pass to the faster car. The verbal response by NHRA to Bill's letter was they may consider it if the technology by the timing/Christmas tree manufacturer was available. |

It wasn’t. It never has been. If you could figure out things at the finish line, which was based on simple data inputs from several clocks and doing some math, adding the results from an additional set of inputs from the starting line to the decision of which win light to turn on would have been no problem. This has always been centered around common, simple “if-then-else-endif” statements in programming. There has NEVER been anything technically difficult about installing a “worst red light” system in drag racing. If you could do finish line decisions in which “win light” to turn on, you sure as Hell could include, in your “if-then-else-endif” statement, the clock inputs from the starting line. None of this…even going back to the seventies…has ever been high-tech or difficult to do. It’s borderline criminal “worst” red light wasn’t instituted decades ago. |
