Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I can't vote yet, but I would never skip a race because of the way the tree was set up. I'm in for anything that makes the sport better in the eyes if the majority of racers.

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I'm for Tru Start. I've been the faster car and the slower, but in favor of it either way.

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I am against, it is an advantage for a faster car. I completely understand slower cars wanting Tru-start but I could not imagine a faster car being in favor of it.

Re: Tru start poll Division 6
I am obviously for TruSTART and I AM typically the faster car/ chaser.
There will always be the finish line (chaser) advantage to being the faster car and that reason alone is incentive enough for me to continue being the faster car. I don't think anyone would argue that point regardless of if you are running Stock, Top Sportsman, or a Bracket car. TruSTART simply fixes one starting line system deficiency (in a handicapped scenario) and will lead to long term health of the sport (along the same lines on when it made the sport healthier when we separated door cars and dragsters in our first Spring Fling). Over the past 7 years, I watched the bracket race market change for the better in front of my own eyes and the door car separation had alot to do with that. Encouraging (not discouraging) lower budget participation. Kyle and I (and Compulink) had alot to lose when we introduced this new concept at our Spring Fling races in 2016 as we were now mixing in a new/ different concept with an already successful race. It was a race where we didn't need more cars; there was very little upside from that perspective versus the downside risk involved. The bottom line was that we believed in it (along with believing in Brockmeyer from Compulink) enough to take that risk and the racers LOVED IT. I am not talking keyboard racers or "on paper"... I am talking real life racers who actually raced with it. It is already being installed in tracks throughout the country and similar to cross-talk and auto-start, I believe it will spread and I really hope it does. But if for some reason it doesn't, I am perfectly fine in doing it at our Spring Fling events because its something I believe in. With this being said, everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion and alot of good points have been made on both sides. If an overall vote was taken (in all classes including the Summit Bracket Race Series), I believe it would be 70% for Tru-START. More importantly, if racers raced on it for 3 or 4 days in a row and then voted on it, I believe the vote would be at least 80% for Tru-START. Peter Biondo
