A Instant Green for Super Stock

[James Hensler]

.400 Pro Tree would get my vote! It can even be handicapped for different ET cars. NMRA did this back in the 90’s

[J.R. Haddad]

Besides the fact that this is one of the silliest threads I've ever seen, IF
it had to be done, it would need to be a .500 Pro Tree to allow for all cars
to have a somewhat even chance.

Dirk I will tell you why not. What happens the first time the racers are staged up and are suppose to be getting a pro tree and the person in the tower forgets to turn to switch it over? Is it a re run? Or the tree is set on a .4 tree. It would never work.

Actually, the tree parameters are defined for each individual eliminator.

My way of thinking with the deep staging allowed for all. The Racers who win the most are the racers who race the most and spend the most money in expenses just to win the Championship for the purse of a measly $10,000
In my opinion, using instant green

My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.

I could see that, but don’t agree that a system that rewards completely lucky guessing is the proper direction for the sport.

I definitely see your point,but the success percentage would be quite low for guessing on the tree.

It's really similar to a strategy of a Hail Mary pass or pulling the goalie in hockey.

I'm not much of a soccer fan,but I did see the shootout in the last game of the World Cup.That net is so big,that the goalkeeper is basically guessing which way to jump.A random guess and blind luck.

The way it is now is that the (MUCH) slower car has basically no chance.Their only hope is to get their car fast enough to maybe trigger the other car to get horsepower for a future race.

And now,people want to take that away.
