TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

But since there IS the "elimination part".........it should be fair to all.

Here's a question. When any of you guys or gals race in a heads up round (car in the same class as you) and both red light do you allow the worst red light to be the loser? I already know what the answer is but wondering why worst light is a excepted way of winning. As some of you guys say It's a performance based class and red lights should be disallowed by your thought process. It's ok to win in a heads up by worst red light but not wanted when using shoe polish. Sounds like some of you get your cake and eat it to

Good point but technically worst in this case would also be the first redlight.

Agreed!! Crybabies who knew the rules when they signed on but now want them changed. Grow up, man up and go to work. If you don't like where you are, build a car in a class with a better advantage.

Hi,

The issue isn't a fast car vs. a slow car.....

It's a faster car racing a slower car....

Such as V/S vs. V/SA.....

I wonder how some of your justifications work now???????

It looks like that overpowered V/S car will have to face traction problems, not a clean tree, blah, blah, blah.....

I believe that the statement "There's none so blind as those who will not see" is true.....

Blah, blah, blah.............

Bob

PS:
I meant no disrespect to V/S & V/SA owners, drivers or crew. I was just trying to make a point

And you don't work on your car either, you have to grow up! LOL!

What's next, if it's not a mustang/Camaro/challenger than it doesn't belong in a "performance" class?
"hey boy, you know a 6 cyl wagon ain't no performance veehickle doncha? Get that crap outa the way for a Camaro with a BB". LOL!

Hate to say it, but when I started racing, the tree was 5 yellow bulbs. No reaction timers, right lane spotted the left and one dial in for the day. With all the changes that has gone on with the tree, I think that this TruSTART is the best innovation that has come about. The change is for the best, if not, lets go back to no clocks other then the finish line and one dial for the day.

I think I'll work harder on getting true start adopted. It's easier and cheaper then building a faster class car. Off to work I go.

No, No , No. Thats not it @ all. Yeah I knew the rules when I started & continued in this. I AM working on my combo. The opportunity to IMPROVE the existing sytem has been presented, and I would be in favor of it. I'm not marching in the streets, threatening to sue or whining up a storm. I just came in from the Garage. The car I have and the class I'm in is the quickest that I have the ability to support. And I like it.
