TruSTART GAINS MOMENTUM WITH ACCUTIME

[ALMACK]

As a racer that is the first to leave 85 % of the time, I love the idea

It drives spectators crazy with the first cars light going green then red when the second car gets the go signal. No issues with it as a racer. Bremerton had it going all of last year.

This thread is just more marketing hooey for Trustart. I was just informed that NHRA has no intention of ever using this system. All this thread does is stir controversy and create hard feelings.

Everyone I've explained this to has understood it completely and in fact they had made the assumption it was always in force. They understood you are running your own race and it is just compared to the competitor on the other lane. Closer to perfect wins if you stay in your lane.

Seems odd NHRA would not even consider input from racers and fans (the people who pay to watch) yet then again they haven't addressed fuel cars crashing into the vehicle in the other lane past the finish line and still being declared the winner so I'd guess anything is possible.

And that talking head on TV who proclaims "Every ticket is a pit pass" clearly has never been to Texas. Not only did I have to purchase extra cost pit pass tickets for everyone in 3 families to get on the racer side and see the cars, they forced me to purchase a $26 ticket for a 5 month old baby. Did they think he was gonna sit there and watch the races. Really??? Clueless.

Guess which track and sport lost 3 potential families that said they aren't coming back.

Well, I know that Bruce's sources are usually impeccable, but how about this ?
Anybody here, that's overly concerned about this, one way or the other ( that wouldn't be me) , give Peter a call. There's the guy who would know for sure.

I also think that during qualifying, we should start based on our index.
Its a better visual for the fan.and more realistic for the racers.

I agree on using indexes for time runs.

I know it is a lot more work for the people in the tower, but it benefits both spectators and racers

I would love that! I could learn a lot by comparing my estimate on how much I got (or didn't get) the stripe by with what the timeslip says.

With about a third of the field hammering the brakes at the 1000' mark, this will clearly benefit the spectators on understanding how class racing works.

Big no! from me on Trustart in S or SS.
