A case for Tru-Start

The only difference is a win slip or a lose slip Bracket racing which is not here or stk sstk racing and in my opinion if you can afford to do it its nothing about ego its your own preference I hope I can win a race one day?

If you turn it red you don't deserve to win end of story.

Kyle how many races at the spring fling were changed because of this rule?


I don't care if I red light less then the faster car, if I red light I deserve to loose. The slow car get the clean tree. and the fast car gets the first red light rule. it all balances out.
I hope I get to race some of these fast guys that are watching my tree to see if I red light first.

.

Fast car tree is clean as slow car when using Cross talk, I'm missing balance?

last time I checked there's no cross talk in STK or SS. How does cross talk work with foot brake cars and no electronics?

Mickey and I are going to implement a new rule for this topic. If you don't run stk or ss you don't get to vote or comment on this topic. I know this eliminates a few of you but its for the better.

I appreciate Kyle chiming in and giving his reasoning behind their implementation of tru-start. Thanks.

Some poster's to this thread feel that tru-start should just be for Box racers and then when Box racers chime in, a couple of the posters "implement a new rule" ? OK, we get it. You don't like tru-start. You've made your point. When I started this thread, I said about the example that I cited, "it's something to think about." You have pushed the subject far past that point and WAY past humor.

Charlie Bob it's called the Chuck Rayburn rule: "If you don't have one, you have no vote!"

Clean tree argument is a joke. Here is a thought a few of you fast guys throw out. Get a slower car if a lack of a clean tree is a problem. If your faster and watching slow cars tree come down or top bulbs flashing again when slow car leaves your not focusing on task at hand. Ive been the faster car for years in SS and bracket and block out other side of tree and focus on my side. Fast car gets the first red light advantage and windshield view on how the race progresses. Slow car gets the first chance to lose on redlight and TRY to watch in rear view mirror on how the race progresses.Yes I no longer have a SS number but I'm allowed on this site so I have an opinion until moderator kicks me off.
PS. I almost forgot. Flame away!
