A case for Tru-Start

[Billy Nees]

Hey Mick, let's say that you and I race. You get to the line first and break-out by .05. I get to the line a car behind you and break-out by .03. The win light doesn't come on until MY car crosses the line. You're out by .05, I'm out by .03, I win. But the win light doesn't come on until my car crosses the line.

Now let's say that you and I race again. You get to the line first and break-out by .03. I get to the line a car behind you and break-out by .05. Should MY win light come on when your car crosses the line because you were the first one to break-out?

If the first to go red is the loser on the starting line, then it's only fair that the first to break-out should be the loser at the finish line.

The only reason that this has come up now is that the technology to do it didn't exist till now. This isn't any different to Stock and SS than replacement carbs and aluminum heads are. But I guess that the "fast" guys aren't having a problem with them.
