Jeff,

From my understanding, under the Tru-Start system the slower car that red lights is not automatically eliminated and in fact can win the race if the faster car has a worse red light. But, when the slower car goes green and the faster car goes red, the faster car is automatically eliminated. Correct me if I am wrong.

get a slower car, grow a set

There's nothing wrong with Tru-Start! Or maybe all of this new-fangled, high-tech s**t should all get dumped and we can go back to flagmen and car-length headstarts.

I am against tru start

TruStart only comes into play on a double red light start. This is a rare occurrence and it addresses the current "first red light" rule with a fairer outcome. I would be OK with this.

Just to muck this up, if both cars cross the center line, should the first car over be DQ'd or the car that crosses the line by the greatest distance? Do we need hash marks crossing the track to verify this??

Last season I left last in Sportsman and first in Pro. I had red lights and 0.000 lights on each side of the equation. Makes me neutral on the fast/slow issue, which seems to be some sort of *ick measuring contest here.

I am all for Tru-Start. Why should the Fast car get a "Free Pass" just cuz I went RED first. If he/she goes more red that me that's their fault.

Don! You would be. You race a fast car. I'm against 2-steps, long throw switches and any slick wider than 7"!
