Like upgrade the cylinder heads, try a new converter, cam, tires, etc. With Trustart why bother to spend any extra time or money to improve your performance? Just keep lumbering down the track. It would be a step back of the performance aspect that the class was based on.

I don't think most class racers make their car run farther under the index so they get to be the faster car during eliminations.

I think having a faster car in your class is a matter of pride of having your combo run farther under the index ( or the ability to ), having a better chance when you have a heads up run, and being able to qualify in the top half of the ladder to either avoid a heads up run with a faster car or to be able to move around on the ladder. I recently heard one racer tell me he wants to make his car run faster because he hates being a designated pair.


Not sure if I like trustart or not, but If it comes, we will all deal with it.
