The way true start is set up the win light or Red light does not come on till both cars have left the starting line. Example Car A has the spot Car B leaves 2nd. Car A turns it 001 red, the red light will not show until Car B leaves the starting line. If both car A & B red light, both red lights will show on the tree and the score board will show the true winner. Not saying I like it or don't like it, but as long as I know it is being used before I enter the race that's cool with me. Cal SST HR 1177 |

Next we need to go for the best package crowed. Who would have won the race based on best package?
Then to be really fair lets figure the winner all 3 ways Current system, True start and Best package. The racer that wins 2 out of 3 ways is declared the winner. Or to make the new millennials happy every one just go down the track but don't record anything and everyone is declared the winner. |

Starting in 1976 at NHRA divisional races the first car to reach the finish line and break out was the loser. They figured out that wasn't right and corrected it..

For all of those wanting to race with tru-start I'm sure the are plenty of bracket racing platforms beginning out there and tracks as well then u won't have to worry about heads-up races fuel check or going over the scales or even tear downs for that matter and centainly won't have to cry on this forum about not getting into a national event where they won't implement tru-start. Believe it or not the level playing field out there is what u make it quit complaining and just get some seat time

Maybe I have a misconception of how Tru-Start works. I'd be happy to be corrected.
For example, racing under the Tru-Start system is a V/SA and an A/SA. V car leaves and goes red, but there is no visible indication of a foul start (to use NHRA terminology). Freeze frame right there. As I understand Tru-Start, the V car driver now has a "second chance" at winning the race instead of being automatically eliminated. So far so good? If the A car leaves clean, that driver is the automatic winner. If the A car goes red, I guess they figure it out with the R/T that is closer to .000 or each driver's total package. Now change things up a little. V car leaves clean and the A car goes red. Is the A car automatically eliminated? |
