Tim,
I agree!!!
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.
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!!!
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.
But that's just me.
