Joe, we ran at Paris Tx strip for years with the .5 yellow Green pro tree. I pulled into a IHRA race (first National event @ Dallas International) and guess what tree they had. I was ready. Won the race & so much for the sticks not being able to run on it. My car was a 69 Z-28 Stick Ran NHRA F/S at the time. I like that tree.

I would like to see both top yellows come on at the same time then start the handicap down.

Think of a pro start with a handicap. You might blow up your
engine waiting for your light or you'll probably be late.
I did that back in the 1970 at the Grove at a either IHRA or
a AHRA Summer Nationals.

I like the heads up pro start same class and heads
up pro start in class run off.

That would be cool, pro start for class or a heads-up run, but then you have a conflict of having different trees to get used to.

I can understand the slower cars have a point; they probably need 2 yellows cause they can't leave hard enough to have a decent R.T.

The slow cars are not that much slower for the first initial few feet if everything is work right.
My boy's O/SA-P/SA Aspen runs 1.5s 60 FT. that I ran at Pomona last week which is not all that much slower than a lot of the bracket cars at our local track. I did not notice a problem leaving on last Yellow on same
spot as my E/SA car that goes 1.3s

Jody Lang seems to do OK with a slower stocker.
