I've come to really admire what you guys do and have a great amount of respect for it. For the record I would view the introduction of Trustart as a "correction" of the current system as apposed to a "evolvement" of it. Imagine you had a clean slate. You are in the process of inventing handicap drag racing. All other decisions have been made and the only thing left to decide is what to do in the case of two red lights. Again a COMPLETELY clean slate, no history (ie: this is way we've always done it) and no limitations of a timing system that was designed for Heads Up starts. Would the current system even be considered?

Welcome to the forum, John.
Good question.
It's hard to even imagine the system we have now being designed from scratch.
What we have now evolved over a period of about 60 years ...just like Stock Eliminator has "evolved" over a 45 year period.
I believe both will continue to do so..personal agendas aside.
