TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

Mile High · 02-23-2016, 07:50 AM

I don't understand why it is so wrong to some that both drivers have to cut a light to make it a race? Instead of the race being over when the first driver red lights. I guess it is suppose to be a perk for building a fast car. Not everyone can afford to be a fast car. This change is looooong over due.

Does NHRA use Crosstalk when its runs top dragster and top sportsman?

Brad Plourd · 02-23-2016, 10:25 AM

Yes they do Larry.

Larry Hill · 02-23-2016, 10:58 AM

It may happen sooner than later.

Biondo+Compulink+Electronics= Money. I applaud their ingenuity. TruStart is simply a new product launch and it has all the lower class car racers thinking it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. But the bottom line it is all about business, that is, making money. Again, I applaud making money. But, please don't think this was done out of the kindness of somebody's heart. It will likely stifle their competitors which is the all American way of doing business.

The slow car racers should have to give a 5 or 6 second spot to feel the experience on an A car sitting at the line. Billy had some line about "waiting is the hardest part" on the back of his car. So you know...don't you Billy? Just so none of us are under any illusion, this Trustart product is red light protection while the faster cars have to wait to chase them down. I suppose that's fair to them.

For the record, this is an old debate and I did not want it changed when I ran J-N. With all the new cars at the track, an A/SA car will be leaving first more often than in the past. Yes, an A car will still leave last in most cases but try to figure out a fair compromise to this wonderful red light protection.

Casey; isn't that AMAZING??? I guess the fact that Peter and Kyle have suggested implementing exactly what was suggested (and shot down, with never a valid reason given, years ago,) has made all the difference.. . lots of replies in support, now.... LOL!

H.R. Haldeman told John Dean, during the Watergate hearings, ""Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it is awfully hard to get it back in."

I think Ed Fernandez and his buddy, Ed Wright might know what that means...

Yep. LOL

Lose a couple like hat, and you might change your thinking.
