A thoughtful, consistent point you make.

Sort of like: If it's the first infraction at the starting line, then why not the first infraction at the finish line?

This issue is at a point where you track operators need to make the decision about what YOU think is right and to Hell with what racers think. And remember, this has to do with ALL handicapped races, not just certain segments. It affects Super Pro just as much as Super Stock.

And it's every race, every time and everywhere.

Since I am a slower car, I make a real effort to go green. I feel I cannot push the lights hard as I would like, because I don't want to give away the race. I would like to push the tree harder, and true start would allow that. Just my 2 cents.

I'm pushing it all the time...I've found that if I try to be conservative at the tree it usually goes badly in the other direction lol.

I am for it to me is only common sense and feel like it is fair,the way I see it is when true start made a difference in a race both guys went red and the one who did the best job would win and seems fair for both.
I completely understand a guy in fast car not wanting it,the way I see it is not really different than a breakout and heads up a double redlight the least of the red is the winner.
