Re: First VS Worst red light
 

I am for True Start. But how about if you both red light, your both out. Seams fair to me.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

No to True Start. If you want it, go bracket race.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

Its usually the quicker cars that oppose True Start, takes away an advantage they enjoy. I know from experience as I used to have one of the quickest cars in my bracket class at the local track. (9.60's foot brake in Sportsman, no-electronics class)

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

That's what we do during eliminations. If there is a heads up like we all enjoy about class racing, guess what, worst red light is the loser. So we kind of already have the rule. If you dont like the worst light rule, then in heads up just make it furthest under index wins. That way worst red light rule is removed like the rest of the rounds.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

True start is a liberal way of running a race slow cars have an advantage of having a clean tree leave the rules alone siow cars almost never spin the tires, give fast cars traction control and the ability to block the vision of the other lane then you can have it

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

Cant help you on traction, but blinders is fine with me.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

If there is a logical argument against TruSTART, I’d love to hear it. It’s the way it should be and would have always been done if technology allowed it.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

AMEN....it’s not the first breakout,.....but the worst breakout....l

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

I would bet it will change eventually. More and more tracks will use it for S/SS combo races. Most will then think..hey no big deal.

As most of the old timers retire or worse, there won't be as much opposition either.

When first proposed , most of the fast Stockers were in the low 10's .Today, a way different story. A few of the formerly fastest Stocker guys will probably come around too.

There are advantages to both ends of the spectrum, so I don't see that as a good argument "against'.

I've said before, I don't care , one way or the other. I just try to look at the big picture.

Re: First VS Worst red light
 

I just got home from the Epping Sports Nationals. I watched several higher HP cars blow the tires away from poor starting line prep. I have raced both fast and slow stockers. I'm all for true start. But if the faster car spins the tires because lack of starting line prep you get a rerun. If you think there is such a big advantage with a faster car than build one. BP
