As some of you guys say It's a performance based class and red lights should be disallowed by your thought process. It's ok to win in a heads up by worst red light but not wanted when using shoe polish. Sounds like some of you get your cake and eat it to

Agreed!! Crybabies who knew the rules when they signed on but now want them changed. Grow up, man up and go to work. If you don't like where you are, build a car in a class with a better advantage.

Hi,

The issue isn't a fast car vs. a slow car.....

It's a faster car racing a slower car....

Such as V/S vs. V/SA.....

I wonder how some of your justifications work now???????

It looks like that overpowered V/S car will have to face traction problems, not a clean tree, blah, blah, blah.....

I believe that the statement "There's none so blind as those who will not see" is true.....

Blah, blah, blah.............

Bob

PS:
I meant no disrespect to V/S & V/SA owners, drivers or crew. I was just trying to make a point

And you don't work on your car either, you have to grow up! LOL!

What's next, if it's not a mustang/Camaro/challenger than it doesn't belong in a "performance" class?
"hey boy, you know a 6 cyl wagon ain't no performance veehickle doncha? Get that crap outa the way for a Camaro with a BB". LOL!

Hate to say it, but when I started racing, the tree was 5 yellow bulbs. No reaction timers, right lane spotted the left and one dial in for the day. With all the changes that has gone on with the tree, I think that this TruSTART is the best innovation that has come about. The change is for the best, if not, lets go back to no clocks other then the finish line and one dial for the day.

The guys that normally leave last won't like it. They are losing an advantage. "Build a faster car!" LMBO

They would not be at a disadvantage, be honest about it. I both leave first & last. I have to admit that I kinda enjoy that advantage when I leave last. It's fine with me, either way. Hard to honestly say it would be unfair to change it, right?

Hi Casey,

I've been around a while too

When I started racing we had a red and green bulb and the starter staged you......

I moved to California and got started a by Native American with a head dress at Fremont.

I remember a flag man standing 100' down track in order to get the handicaps right..

I remember going to that new 5 yellow bulb tree....

That was then and this is now..........

Why not use the technology that have???????????

To also look at the bright side this change of rules, it will be without cost

Unless NHRA can figure out a way to charge the sportsman racer

Will probably be a 10% entry fee increase for racers that aren`t required to wear fire pants or jackets.

I think I'll work harder on getting true start adopted. It's easier and cheaper then building a faster class car. Off to work I go.

No, No , No. Thats not it @ all. Yeah I knew the rules when I started & continued in this. I AM working on my combo. The opportunity to IMPROVE the existing sytem has been presented, and I would be in favor of it. I'm not marching in the streets, threatening to sue or whining up a storm. I just came in from the Garage. The car I have and the class I'm in is the quickest that I have the ability to support. And I like it.
