Ya know, back in the old days, a "slow" Stocker was at the disadvantage of the first red-light but it was offset by a "fast" Stocker possibly spinning the tires on pre-prep starting lines.
Now that you can't walk out on a starting line without losing a shoe because we are racing in a time when the starting lines are spray-glued, the possibility of a "fast" Stocker spinning are significantly less. With that being said, I do think that it's time for NHRA to commit to Tru-start. It only seems fair to take away both disadvantages.
