Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
I liked that deal. In the heat, at slower tracks, not everybody could run the record. Mattered how fast you were. Kinda dumbed down now.

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
So, someone shows-up with their U/SA capable of going .09 under their National Index. Unless his opponent hits the tree better or can go .10 under their National Index with the same light, the guy can't lose?

NHRA had to go to these slow indexes to draw the slow guys back. About any old thing will run under these indexes.

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
The trouble with running off the records was basically two things. There was always somebody with a soft record and he would have a big advantage, and the flip side was somebody setting the record in mineshaft conditions hurting everybody else in the same class.

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
Most were smart enough to not bomb the record, since they had to run off them. It was not that big a problem. Most I have talked to that raced back then, liked it better.

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
Only heads ups were between cars in the same class. Had none at national events because only class winners ran eliminations. I won my first points race, at slow track, running a tenth off the record. Didn't have a real close race all day.

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
Do the guys not believing the vote was correct, expect it to be Yes by a large margin?
Is that why some believe it to be wrong? Or, just disappointed?

Re: Tru-start poll for DIv 1
For sure 4 people voted in multiple division once. That's 12 more votes that were counted towards the total. Don't know which way a couple of the 4 voted. I'm sure there are more that voted in multiple divisions then the 4 I know of. My disappointment was the lack of good faith in some. I didn't think I needed to write a rule book on voting.
