TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

Micheal: Were your stats based on a true start tree race or a race where the faster car got the bye? It will make a difference.

After using TruSTART at both Spring Fling events (Vegas and Bristol), I am very happy with both how it performed and with the racer feedback. After watching it in action, I am going to say that 85 to 90% of the racers gave positive feedback.

Thanks to Bob @ Compulink and Jeff @ LVMS for helping it to become a reality.

They were based on existing, standard tree events, as TruStart has only been used at the two Spring Fling events.

Two Englishtown stock racers may like trustart about now.

I'm sure Great Bend runner up is a trustart fan now also.

TrueStart is a must if your looking for fairness. No way did I earn that round. Tex had a way better package then me. In my opinion he was holding just the right amount and with a near perfect light he would have put me on the trailer, even if I was green. I did an absolutely terrible job and don't deserve that round win. I guess I'm just one of those fast guys in the minority that think TrueStart time has come.

Kenny, did ya see his red? I believe that makes a difference in the equation so it's impossible to include that data for a debate.
Hell yeah, I'm for it, no worries!

Why would you apologize or say you didn't deserve to win that round?You won that round under current rules (which will probably stay this way until we are all gone). Now go ahead and win the race even if you get 6 more red lights by your opponents and you red light 6 times right behind them, you win!
