The winner will be the driver who was red by the least amount. The way it should be, IMO, although I've never heard about it being approved for use at the NHRA divisional/national level.

If you're the slower car, you just need to be sure to check for winlights after the quicker car leaves.

Lenny,
Thanks. So in the event of 2 reds in eliminations does the tree eventually show a green? If it eventually shows a green it would need to be after the last car crosses the finish line.

I think NHRA should tell the drivers before the event starts if TrueStart is being used (maybe this is a good topic for a "poll"?).
I don't know about you guys but I would drive different for TrueStart than the old way. You can not just look back and see your opponents red and know you have the win. You need to see the red in your opponents lane AND see your win light on.
