Re: Tru start poll Division 6
James, thank you for your efforts in this poll. I would like to cast three votes in favor of tru-start if the cost of the software is not passed on to the racers. If it is then we will make do with the "clean light" advantage. I know this is a hard to predict deal. Also thank you to Tommy and Larry for an honest answer of liking the advantage of having a faster car. We all know the rules going in to the race. Happy holidays to all!

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I am sorry Peter and Kyle, but I disagree. However, in a delay box class where both cars are leaving on the same bulb, it makes sense. Everybody has their own opinion on slower cars vs faster cars having their advantages. But if everybody wants to make it "fair" with regards to the tree, I would like to know how you give both cars a clean tree without a delay box. I really hope this does not come to what is left of a performance based class.
Jason

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
Organized drag racing is a performance based sport that thrives on the fact that we take "normal" cars and turn them into purpose built Hotrods. Everyone that races should understand that a quick/fast car takes considerably more money and effort to campaign. Now by changing the rules you are taking away a "benefit" given to the quicker car. This rule change will hasten the demise of class racing. Why? Because there is no incentive to have a quicker car. The future will show a group of 500 to 600 hp Super Stockers all running 9:50's to 10:50's. Leave True Start where it belongs, with the bracket racers.

TruStart is a $2800 software upgrade to an existing Compulink timing system based on info from another forum thread. Not a huge expense.

And maybe I'm dense or something but I just can't figure out how Tru-Start has anything to do with "what is left of a performance based class".

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I think we should cut off husan bolts foot off because he is the fastest one billy delay box guys set up 005 or better there are a lot of double reds there within 005 yes that would work bottom bulb not that tight so I still say no and I like pete and kyle but I can disagree with this rule!
