Interesting thru 2 rounds of stk/SS only 1 pair would be affected by TruStart.

Pretty much spot on according to the trends mapped out by Beard. Should be roughly 1-2%. The tree has dropped 104 times between those classes.

I don't really care whether the first or worst red light rule were to be put in place but the reality is that you can't look at current statistics to mean anything as the tree is not blinded. This is obviously skewing what actions are taken by the faster car. Seeing the red come on the other side of the tree would obviously affect how the faster driver reacts.

Bingo....most of the time it would only matter in a heads up race or races that are get close to the same dial. In other instances the car leaving last will continue having an advantage. For example an A car racing a N car after seeing clearly the red light by the N car, instead of just going for it freebie style- will simply just dog it.

Any of you guys who say that you can clearly see the other guy go red while he leaves first , Clearly do not have a clue..
