Stock final
Winner had the worst red light, broke out and still won. I know it's the first red light rule but it just does not seem right to me.

Re: Stock final
Actually you can't tell anything about the quicker car reaction time (with no delay box). Especially with over a second difference I'm sure Craig seen Chris go red and knew it didn't matter. I wonder if TruStart will be implemented in the future for national events.

Re: Stock final
I wish they would block off the green and red lights so you couldn't see what the opponent has. I find it kind of distracting.

Re: Stock final
Yes I do see the other side of the tree.

Re: Stock final
Don't see how being in the final round is relative but if your opponent's tree is one second quicker then yours and he red lights, your going to see it and probably react differently.

Re: Stock final
I leave first probably 90% of the time but the few times it's happened to me I have seen the red light more times than not but I'm not very good anyway so this might help explain some of it lol.
On another note I went bracket racing this past weekend at Galot and they use Trustart and I got the win 3rd round on Saturday when I was -.004 and my opponent was 40 something red so I liked it. Although it made me look a little foolish yesterday when I was -.009 and I was trying to tighten up the stripe and didn't realize I was red because my light was green when I left!

Re: Stock final
How long you been racing Bob? Nothing will change and you've already started this crap before the season is over. Aren't you happy?

I doubt you would give a race back to the much quicker car if he spun badly leaving and because of that couldn't catch you.. Having run cars all over the spectrum, from Doolittles Comet to A and B stock automatics; know full well some of the advantages and disadvantages to either end. Personally, think F thru C classes are about optimum, as they don't often fry the tires and yet you are chasing most so the other guy can red light first and you can see him and the finish line as you approach it. Congratulations Craig Maddox on your first stock Eliminator Win, wish you many more of them! You were driving super! And the car was super consistant! Proud of your accomplishments and loved your few minutes of interview fame. |
