TruSTART system to be used at the 2017 Division 6 Summit ET Finals

News coming out of the NHRA Division 6 meetings held this past weekend in Seattle, Washington is that track operators voted unanimously to utilize the new TruSTART worst red light system designed by Compulink’s Bob Brockmeyer along with racers Peter Biondo and Kyle Seipel.

Second generation track owner of Woodburn Dragstrip Jay Livingston along with his partners Cherie & Joey Severance will host the 2017 Division 6 Summit ET Finals. “We are extremely excited about hosting this event in 2017, my father Jim and I have thought for many decades now that this worst red light system should of been in place. Thanks to Peter and Kyle along with Bob Brockmeyer on making it happen” explained Livingston.

Over 600 racers from 18 members tracks will compete for cash awards and team honors at Woodburn Dragstrip Labor Day Weekend, September 1-3. Further details on the event can be found at www.NHRADiv6.com or www.WoodburnDragstrip.com.

I feel true start needs to be an all or nothing affair. I don’t think at the et finals is the place to throw it out to everyone. It says the track owners voted unanimously to use it. Will all 18 tracks be using it all year? Or just at the ET finals?

If I am reading this right, all tracks in Division 6 will use Tru-Start for all events starting A.S.A.P. I knew a few tracks had signed up, but this is interesting.

Steve Taylor would be proud.

Ron: This is just logic speaking here: The Summit ET Finals are the culmination of a Series of point races. Since the Series is all handicapped start races, then TS would be used through out the series at all tracks. This doesn't mean all the weekend bracket races would use it, but I don't see why not.

Not sure about all the tracks in D6 though. There is one running at an airport since the mid 50s. Classic vintage drag strip stuff. A car club operation. $2000 - 3000 is a chunk of change unless you own a rock quarry the size of Auburn.
