TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

How many races were decided by worst red light at the 'Fling ? How many total rounds were run at the race ? Thanks

I did the $40K race on Thursday.

The tree was activated 454 times.

In 89 pair, there was at least one red light. (19.6%)

In 4 pair, there were double red lights. (0.9%)

Of those, 3 pair had the slower car winning the race with the lesser red light. (0.7% overall)

I've analyzed a few races, and this is definitely at the low end of the spectrum as far as double red lights.

The eventual runner-up (round 9 loser) would have lost in round 5 going -.003 in his slow door car to his quicker opponent's -.026 light.

Larry this is all I found just 1 class on Saturday



Super Pro Round 1 of Saturday's race.

467 cars went down the track. 75 of them (16%) drew a red bulb.

Of 233 pairs (plus a bye car), 68 pairs (29.2%) featured at least one red light.

7 pairs (3.0%) had double red lights.

3 pairs (1.3%) had double red lights with the slower car getting the win.

These numbers are pretty typical.

Are they trying to fix a 1% problem?

Larry: Whether it's 1% or .01%, the tree should be fixed. Also, you are talking about top bulb racers at the Spring Fling, it would probably be a different story on a bottom bulb race. The faster car shouldn't just mosey on down the track or get a bye run because the slower car fouled, make everyone take their chance at the tree. No disrespect, just a different side of the story. We can't wait for our local track to get the new feature in the timing system, it would make a huge difference in the end of the year track champion.

All this push back and negativity over 1%. Amazing. Times are changing.

So it is about selling

If it corrects one race then it was all worth it, thanks Peter and Kyle.
