A Instant Green for Super Stock

On instant green, the quicker car is free to react instantly to the tree and won’t be in danger of fouling.

Not to mention that the quicker car is likely to react quicker, although with two cars in the same class, the difference will be almost negligible.

How many people are really going to be 3 or 4 tenths late on the full tree?

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.

There's a difference between instant green and a pro tree.

There is no yellow lights. You stage your car and the next light you see is green

Seattle in the early eighties was .5 pro light with no deep staging but you had to roll in some.The best I could cut with a 12 second car averaged about .620. You need to have the front end tight with no lift, the car has to go straight ahead immediately. Most cars will wind up with as small a front tires as possible, 13 " is legal, they'll be there. The lightest cars will dominate some combinations will become extinct when in comes to dial in racing and forget about stick shifts, there's a reason there are virtually none in .90 classes.But for heads up runs where both cars are similiar and no dial ins it might be O.K.

What is the opposite of a delay box, ‘cause that’s what I will need.

I remember that instant green fiasco at Seattle, having a heavy 12 second 4 speed street/strip car, I absolutely hated it, and I seem to recall they used it for only a short period of time, less than a year, I believe. I am not positive, back I think that may have been when a full tree was still using 5 amber lights on the tree. Quite a change, that I doubt anybody liked.

What exactly is this instant green supposed to accomplish, If your blocking it's instant yellow now. Just pick a bulb and leave on it ?
