Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
MJ you missed the diving trunks, they were a boys size 7.
Class racing is heads-up, the elimination part of it is kind of a filler but its still fun. If I go red I loose its how its played. If its not your cup of tea, try something else. Tell Fred happy birthday for me. |

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
But since there IS the "elimination part".........it should be fair to all.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
Here's a question. When any of you guys or gals race in a heads up round (car in the same class as you) and both red light do you allow the worst red light to be the loser? I already know what the answer is but wondering why worst light is a excepted way of winning. As some of you guys say It's a performance based class and red lights should be disallowed by your thought process. It's ok to win in a heads up by worst red light but not wanted when using shoe polish. Sounds like some of you get your cake and eat it to

I doubt that you are ever going to see it implemented in Stock, Super Stock or Comp. NHRA is driven by sponsors and money. Chrysler, GM and Ford want their fast cars at the top with every advantage to win. Money talks, it ain't gonna happen. Look at NHRA, their past relationship with Chrysler and the Hemi cars. Enough said.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
Hi,
The issue isn't a fast car vs. a slow car..... It's a faster car racing a slower car.... Such as V/S vs. V/SA..... I wonder how some of your justifications work now??????? It looks like that overpowered V/S car will have to face traction problems, not a clean tree, blah, blah, blah..... I believe that the statement "There's none so blind as those who will not see" is true..... Blah, blah, blah............. Bob PS: I meant no disrespect to V/S & V/SA owners, drivers or crew. I was just trying to make a point

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
I think I'll work harder on getting true start adopted. It's easier and cheaper then building a faster class car. Off to work I go.

Re: TruSTART looks to level the playing field.
No, No , No. Thats not it @ all. Yeah I knew the rules when I started & continued in this. I AM working on my combo. The opportunity to IMPROVE the existing sytem has been presented, and I would be in favor of it. I'm not marching in the streets, threatening to sue or whining up a storm. I just came in from the Garage. The car I have and the class I'm in is the quickest that I have the ability to support. And I like it.
