This rule change will hasten the demise of class racing. Why? Because there is no incentive to have a quicker car. The future will show a group of 500 to 600 hp Super Stockers all running 9:50's to 10:50's. Leave True Start where it belongs, with the bracket racers.
Ego and bragging rights will still keep the fast cars coming. I see 9.50 cars racing 1000 ft. and dumping without Tru-start. Staying green will show zero effect on a fast car using Tru-start.
