Ego and bragging rights will still keep the fast cars coming. I see 9.50 cars racing 1000 ft. and dumping without Tru-start. Staying green will show zero effect on a fast car using Tru-start.

Since you don't have a clue.......

Let me try to educate you, but it looks like it might be difficult....

A/SA car runs 11.00 = Very slow A/SA car

P/SA car runs 12.00 = Very fast P/SA car

It won't. The other divisions should start their own poll.

This thread was started by my friend James Boyce to take a poll of Division 6 Stock and Super Stock racers on their like or dislike of Tru-Start, that is all it was for. Thanks to Peter Biondo for his posts to help understand Tru-Start.

By the way Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Bob if you want to race a quick P/SA relative to your index, that's fine. I think a slow A/SA relative to his index should benefit from your red light by leaving last. Simple.

It's the slow takeover of the shoe polish regime! Unfortunately, it's gonna happen. Too many trophies that have been presented towards participation!

I just don't see what tru-Start has to do with the ruination of Stock and SS! I think that the loosening of all of the under hood rules have already done that!

It just seems like common sense that if the first to redlight loses then the first to break out should lose too.
