Then to be really fair lets figure the winner all 3 ways Current system, True start and Best package. The racer that wins 2 out of 3 ways is declared the winner.

Or to make the new millennials happy every one just go down the track but don't record anything and everyone is declared the winner.
They do have a best package deal at the bracket finals. 2 out of 3, yeah, hyuk.

As the starter of this thread, I feel Tru-start is 39 years too late in being implemented. Why change ? As a driver of a slower car, I feel this is a problem that needs to be fixed.

Agreed, except for maybe the pigs.

Agreed. Bob and Jody are both guys that I have a lot of respect for. They are both real good at doing this. What happened when they raced is just an example of what I feel that tru-start will, in my mind, fix.

My point exactly. Its not isolated. Tru-start is now out there and fixes this advantage that I feel the faster cars have had. I, for 1, would like to see it implemented. Its been created, has a name, I like it.
