Pro tree
 

Has anyone ever brought up the idea of a protree for class races that are heads up I think it would be a great idea myself what do you guys think?

Re: Pro tree
 

You're on the wrong thread. The .90 classes have their own thread.

If not, leave Stock and S/S off your silly idea list!!!!!!.

Re: Pro tree
 

Another really bad idea. Go to a .90's class if you want a pro tree. Leave us alone!

Tim,
I agree!!!:D I've raced the .500 pro tree on a handicap in the NMRA's Open Comp and when the UMTR used to have a couple Pro Tree races every year. To me I think its the only way to race. The problem is trying to get the nay sayers to put their purse down long enough to even try it.:eek: Most of the time after you get them to try it the majority likes it. But you always have the handful that don't and they cry because they weren't ready and because they were the fast car or they were the slow car. Trust me I've heard it over and over and over. We are bottom bulb racers, right? .500 bulbs, right? Its a no brainer to me. Especially with a stick car its AWESOME!!!:D Its about as close to feeling like your driving a Pro Stocker as most will ever get. Also it will eliminate the need for everybody to use the blinders that they use so they don't see the first two bulbs.;)

To me its the difference between driving an automatic and a stick car. I personally call the full tree an automatic tree. :eek: But that's just me.

Re: Pro tree
 

Have you ever tried it? My guess is no.

Re: Pro tree
 

I've ran both many times. I loved it when we ran top stock it was Awesome, like you said I just was thinking for the heads up runs it would be cool that's all.

Some may not like it because they can't use their delay boxes lol!

Re: Pro tree
 

I think you're on to something with the delay boxes:D. Yeah heads up should be a no brainer.

Re: Pro tree
 

You never heard so much complaining about the 5 tenths Pro tree as when we first started "Top Stock" many years ago. Usually its the ones who have never done it that complain the most. After the first Top Stock race at Norwalk, Ohio the racers decided it was the ONLY way to go on a heads up race. And these were races who raced on a sportsman tree all their lives such as Mike Keener, Paul Mecure, and many others driving sticks AND automatics. Many cut .001 to .005 lights on their first shot at the tree.

Re: Pro tree
 

Exactly!!!!

Just think Tim. We are the future of Stock and Super Stock:D

Re: Pro tree
 

It will work in handicap racing also. This might get rid of the large amount or red lights in the eliminator.
