Re: Trustart Debate
Why not "hide" the red lights until both cars have left?

Re: Trustart Debate
When is this nonsense going to end with a few trying to change the sport for the masses, if this format that has been used for many years and, is currently the format of choice by NHRA and its members does not suit your style of racing then GO PLAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. Why isn't there 4 outs in baseball, why don't they shorten the field for overweight people in soccer, maybe some would prefer no tackle football, please stop trying to change the sport that so many have come to enjoy. My 2 cents

Re: Trustart Debate
A timing system feature has been developed that does this.

Re: Trustart Debate
I will add that I am OK with it the way it is. We have been racing this way for many years. If it changes I will be OK with it too.

Re: Trustart Debate
Then that is all that really needs be done...not perfect, but better.

Re: Trustart Debate
Well, it does MORE than just that, but TruSTART hides the red lights until both cars have left and then only displays the worst one.

Re: Trustart Debate
The Main problem is that everybody has a opinion and that's OK.......
But it should be an informed opinion and not just a knee jerk reaction about resisting change....

I really don't care one way or the other which way this goes. It won't determine whether I race or not BUT if you look at it in the right perspective, once the first (slow) car turns on the red light, the race is over. In reality, the second (fast) car can take the green light and back up and not even make the run. This is the only situation in handicap racing (short of the first car hitting the guard rail or crossing the centerline before the second cars green light comes on, not likely) where the race is over immediately. With that being said, I must say that I asked one of the best Racers that I know why every time he raced me, he had a terrible light. He told me that my car passing behind the tree distracted him. I'll give you that one but when was the last time that a Driver in a fast car worried about what the wind was doing or had to change his dial because the Track Crew just prepped he track in the middle of a round?
