James, you did a fine job representing Div 6 in this poll. It was entertaining as well as informative. Seems that the Tru-Start system is favorable in D6.

But I must say that I feel totally discriminated against. I was trashed for offering my opinions as well as some friends who are not from D6. We try to be politically correct and abide by rules as much as we can. I feel not welcomed in D6 because of your discriminatory actions. You have crushed my dreams of competing in the far west and now I hopelessly lost all faith in humanity. I now understand all the rhetoric of west coast rules now and feel as though you are creating division among racers from the east coast. I, along with countless competitors (three) from the other regions of the country are now left with an empty sense of appreciation and have all but lost the desire to compete in new environments and venues out west.

Nice job though.

Wally Parks was a performance minded racer and he was the leader promoting racing in a safe environment. No way would he support a system that takes away the "advantage" of the quicker leaving car. Currently we have a reason to leave last. If that changes only a few big ego's will be running quick, the rest of us will be so so turds.

Congrats to Jim Boyce for doing this poll. The results are about where I expected them to land.

It's too bad the other Divisions didn't do the same thing. That way we could compare figures and see where most of the racers are about Tru-Start.

To Ron Ortiz - - Feel free to make the trip out west, I am sure you would be welcome and have a ball hanging out with guys and gals from out here.

Ron,

I might have phone numbers for grief counseling, as soon as they get done with the Hillary supporters...........

Take care & take your meds,

Bob

This poll shows us nothing except that there are 40 stk/SS cars in D6 that run slower then 11 flat. And want a second chance to win after they red light.

It's about how the tree behaves, not a racing style.
