Slow cars want it fast cars don’t. Play by current rules. If it ever changes then we will have to just roll with it

Worst. I vote for True Start too.

No dog in the hunt. I don't have a vote. So, there is no reason for anybody to badmouth me for my comment, please.

"Slow cars want it fast cars don’t..."

To me, this statement sums it up nicely.

A change would give the quick cars less advantage. Nobody wants LESS advantage.

Same with heads-up runs. doing away with heads-up would also give the quick cars less advantage.

So, I can't blame the quick guys for not wanting any changes.

I also can't blame the slow cars for wanting the changes. In both cases, the change would benefit the slow cars.

I can see why the quick guys sometime get rather nasty, when either of these changes are discussed. In most cases, the quick guys have spent LOTS of money in order to have a quick car. They don't want more competition from the low budget guys.

So, I am always interested in the back & forth discussions of these 2 possible changes. Good entertainment, unless the F-bombs start flying.

Yes to True Start. I run slow in Stock and race a 10'o car in foot brake and Pro category. Usually I'm the faster car. I should be held accountable for being a worse driver and committing a violation. Pretty simple.

I am for True Start. But how about if you both red light, your both out. Seams fair to me.

No to True Start. If you want it, go bracket race.

Its usually the quicker cars that oppose True Start, takes away an advantage they enjoy. I know from experience as I used to have one of the quickest cars in my bracket class at the local track. (9.60's foot brake in Sportsman, no-electronics class)

That's what we do during eliminations. If there is a heads up like we all enjoy about class racing, guess what, worst red light is the loser. So we kind of already have the rule. If you dont like the worst light rule, then in heads up just make it furthest under index wins. That way worst red light rule is removed like the rest of the rounds.
