First VS Worst red light

[Jeff Stout]

Yes to True Start. I run slow in Stock and race a 10'o car in foot brake and Pro category. Usually I'm the faster car. I should be held accountable for being a worse driver and committing a violation. Pretty simple.

I am for True Start. But how about if you both red light, your both out. Seams fair to me.

[Hacksaw]

No to True Start. If you want it, go bracket race.

Its usually the quicker cars that oppose True Start, takes away an advantage they enjoy. I know from experience as I used to have one of the quickest cars in my bracket class at the local track. (9.60's foot brake in Sportsman, no-electronics class)

That's what we do during eliminations. If there is a heads up like we all enjoy about class racing, guess what, worst red light is the loser. So we kind of already have the rule. If you dont like the worst light rule, then in heads up just make it furthest under index wins. That way worst red light rule is removed like the rest of the rounds.

True start is a liberal way of running a race slow cars have an advantage of having a clean tree leave the rules alone siow cars almost never spin the tires, give fast cars traction control and the ability to block the vision of the other lane then you can have it

Cant help you on traction, but blinders is fine with me.

If there is a logical argument against TruSTART, I’d love to hear it. It’s the way it should be and would have always been done if technology allowed it.

So you are for true start and you want heads ups to be that the faster car wins no matter what the light is? Well that will ruin heads up racing if thats the case. You have never watched a heads up race with a David and Goliath story of a holeshot win with the slower car getting the win because the faster car may have been over cautious? People complain that class racing is hard enough to follow already. It would be stupid to remove the redlight in a heads up race. Every other heads up race from Top Fuel to Street outlaws as fake as it is penalizes someone for leaving early in a heads up race.

I say no to true start in any capacity of class racing.

He's not saying change the rule. He's saying the rule is already in affect, worst red light is loser heads up.

He's right, the worst red light rule is already in affect.
