CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - A case for Tru-Start

Bunkster, I kind of know how it works and understand that it would be in my favor in those situations. Only drawback I see is now after I leave, I have to wait about 2-6 seconds to find out if I didn't go red. I usually like to watch my opponent in the rear view mirror to see if they go red and to watch the cool wheel stands when they leave, now this is going to interfere with my entertainment thought process. So, basically, now I have more anxiety to endure while launching and having to wait to see if I did good or not, instead of trying to recognize fans in the stands or checking my e-mails.

Appreciate the Stromberg comment, only thing is, that the only thing I know about them is that they are about a tenth faster than my Ball &Ball carb. Wish I could use one, but NHRA says no, but it is OK for me to get factored when they do. Now that I think about it, yes, I am in favor of Tru-Start.

And as soon as the no tech rule goes into effect, I'll install that NO2 system to keep up with them FFFFords.
