Tru-start poll for DIv 1

Ed Wright · 01-01-2017, 09:25 AM

Seems the slower class guys think they are at a disadvantage? If you cut a light, and run your number, what is a faster car going to do to you? I probably leave first most of the time. I prefer that, with the "clean tree". Lots of Hemi & 8 second hood scoop cars here in Div4. I don't spot that many cars unless I go to a Div 5 race. If I'm red, shame on me. I don't see NHRA spending money on that anyway, regardless of the vote. It was kind of pointless, wasn't it?

No!
Been a good conversation.

I think the whole thing has been useful, the conversation and the polling itself. It seems like opinion is pretty evenly split.

As a slow car racer though, all I really ask of the guys with the fast cars is Don't wreck! And if you do, please do it well before the finish line, I don't want to join in the action.

NHRA won't spend any money.They will just mandate that the Divisional tracks have the system.
At that point, I'm sure they can get a deal on the one (1) system they will need.

Nhra owns/controls several Division tracks. The last thing nhra wants is another headache.

Ed Wright · 01-01-2017, 07:15 PM

I don't see it happening. Could just give everybody a trophy.

Bruce ,You are correct on the first part. Still say they get a deal.
I don't understand the second part.

Actually, I forgot all about it till now.

Not a big deal if it possibly only affects 1.5 % of the runs on any given day.

As I said many times, I don't care one way or the other.
Certainly not something to get worked up over, as many here are.

I think you should start 2 polls. The first one. If the slower car with less HP is able to hook up and goes green but the second car with a lot more HP spins because of poor track care it's a rerun. The second poll. How many are done with rule changes and would like to see the rules left alone. If you loose put it on the trailer and go home. This isn't t-ball. BP
