You guys are not suggesting that the fast guys changing tire rule is about personal agenda? If I remember SOME of the fast guys were crying that Tru Start was about slow cars personal agenda and to go away and quit whining. Never seen a single sided double edge sword. Amazing

Re: Trustart Debate
 

Bickering over such a minor deal with almost no real world impact, your agendas are showing, as a famous writer once said:"methinks you doth protest too much"

I would guess that people named Biondo, Seipel & Brockmeier will eventually get this accepted, no matter what anyone posts.

Re: Trustart Debate
 

I agree. Many of the slower class guys seem to think they have all the disadvantages. Faster cars just have a different set of issues. I most always leave first, and am not interested I changing over. I can not remember one round when it would have effected the outcome for me. It has been First or Worst since I started racing in the early 1960s. If I go red, I'm kicking myself, not hoping the other guy is redder. I'm not looking for a participant trophy.

I truly do not care which way it goes. I have to cut a light and run the number. Isn't that what we all have to do anyway? Being a faster car is not the ultimate advantage. In 2016, I think I left first 1 time. Being the second to leave takes serious concentration because of the slower car moving first. Track prep, wind, lanes, etc all have an effect on faster and slower cars.

Having grown up in this sport, we should be more concerned with the direction NHRA is going. Reduced car counts, less tech, terrible division directors, sub-par tracks, and so on should be what we are concerned about. Not whether or not Tru-Start is in effect or not. The same guys that win now, will win even if Tru-Start is in effect. Mainly because those guys are working on becoming better drivers year in and year out. Not asking for rules to be changed to accommodate their personal agenda.

No, and that's the the point. Cutting a light and running the number are two fundamentals that every person involved in a handicapped race should be subjected to.

Re: Trustart Debate
 

If I have this correct only one of the timing systems have this feature. I do believe there is more than one timing system being used at NHRA member tracks. So how do you make a change like this across the board? Do you require all tracks to buy a new system if they don't already have the correct one? I thought I seen in one of the threads that the upgrade is $3000 if you have the right system.
