And you don't work on your car either, you have to grow up! LOL!

What's next, if it's not a mustang/Camaro/challenger than it doesn't belong in a "performance" class?
"hey boy, you know a 6 cyl wagon ain't no performance veehickle doncha? Get that crap outa the way for a Camaro with a BB". LOL!

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

Hate to say it, but when I started racing, the tree was 5 yellow bulbs. No reaction timers, right lane spotted the left and one dial in for the day. With all the changes that has gone on with the tree, I think that this TruSTART is the best innovation that has come about. The change is for the best, if not, lets go back to no clocks other then the finish line and one dial for the day.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

The guys that normally leave last won't like it. They are losing an advantage. "Build a faster car!" LMBO

They would not be at a disadvantage, be honest about it. I both leave first & last. I have to admit that I kinda enjoy that advantage when I leave last. It's fine with me, either way. Hard to honestly say it would be unfair to change it, right?

Hi Casey,

I've been around a while too

When I started racing we had a red and green bulb and the starter staged you......

I moved to California and got started a by Native American with a head dress at Fremont.

I remember a flag man standing 100' down track in order to get the handicaps right..

I remember going to that new 5 yellow bulb tree....

That was then and this is now..........

Why not use the technology that have???????????

To also look at the bright side this change of rules, it will be without cost

PS:
Unless NHRA can figure out a way to charge the sportsman racer

Will probably be a 10% entry fee increase for racers that aren`t required to wear fire pants or jackets.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

I think the faster cars will be getting an advantage in this system too. When I am chasing I'll tend to sneak a quick peek at the other guy's bulb once he leaves.

Under TruSTART, there will be nothing to see there so no reason to lose focus on my bulb.

Hmmm, sounds familiar!

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

Maybe just pay a fine only by worst red driver when activated in a double redlight run. Only the guilty driver to pay. ( insert sarcasm before someone goes off the deep end )

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

Look at the two men putting this in action, multiple championships, many wins, they do not drive slow cars. Let's follow their lead and level the playing field.
