A Instant Green for Super Stock
 
I think it would be better to have instant green for Super Stock and allow deep staging " Posting for a friend"

I think instant green on heads up runs would be much more exciting to the fans.A car that is 3 or more tenths slower might have a chance.
I know,I know.......
Just "work"on the car.

What’s your line of thinking here?

Today, the quicker car will often be conservative on the tree to avoid red-lighting away an easy victory, while opening the window for a slower car to sneak in.

On instant green, the quicker car is free to react instantly to the tree and won’t be in danger of fouling.

Not to mention that the quicker car is likely to react quicker, although with two cars in the same class, the difference will be almost negligible.

How many people are really going to be 3 or 4 tenths late on the full tree?

My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.

I could see that, but don’t agree that a system that rewards completely lucky guessing is the proper direction for the sport.

There's a difference between instant green and a pro tree.
