Kyle how many races at the spring fling were changed because of this rule?


I don't care if I red light less then the faster car, if I red light I deserve to loose. The slow car get the clean tree. and the fast car gets the first red light rule. it all balances out.
I hope I get to race some of these fast guys that are watching my tree to see if I red light first.

So if you break out do you still deserve to win? Or should it be who ever breaks out first should be the looser. I really don't understand why anyone would be against leveling the playing field with the Tru-Start system. Most of what is argued back and forth on this forum is about having a level playing field.

Umm, most of what's argued back and forth on this forum is personal agenda!

2 cars that have the same dial and both go red the worst red light loses. Now just because 2 cars leave at a different time the worst red light doesn't count. Kind of a double standard. Its a rule for cars dialing the same but then the rule is tossed when 2 cars leave at a different time. Sounds like a level playing field to me.

We all except the rule if 2 cars break out and furthest from dial in loses. Doesn't matter who was faster or slower or crossed the finish line first. Why doesn't worst redlight get the same respect.

In the case of two cars with the same dial, the car with the worst redlight is also the first to redlight.
