A case for Tru-Start

[jmantle]

As with most guys with slower cars, I vote for tru-start but I don't think NHRA will bite.
Problem is I can't think of an instance where it would have made a difference in a race I've been involved in. The other guy usually sees my red in time to make sure he doesn't go red.

Don Fezell (AAA/SA) and I (O/SA) were a selected pair in RD 1 at the Summernationals in 2013. I went -.040 red and he followed with -.130 or so red of his own. I realized I would never have any success at racing if I continued to bulb. Its the worst feeling leaving first and ending the race before it even starts. Even though Tru start might make sense ( breakout after all, is worst not first) if you can`t cut a light, you wont be going too many rounds with those sharks
