Tru start poll Division 6

[Peter Ash]

Against!

I am FOR Tru start and have been from the beginning. We don't have a rule where the first car that breaks out loses, so same rule should apply on the starting line. Either way, it will not change the way I race.

Ok I have 32% of the division Stock and SS response for the Tru Start. Most responses were from stockers, so lets here from the SS crowd. Thanks to every one that has responded here on Classracer, PMing me and answering my texts. I still need more responses so if you know some one make sure they have gotten a hold of me. One thing I have learned doing this poll is not every body knows the facts about Tru Start. If Peter could explain how it works and state the facts here that would be great. I started this thread to be impartial and not push my own opinion but I think the facts how it works to give every body the facts. I wasn't limiting the discussion to just Div 6 just the voting for this poll. Thanks to every body for the responses. More to come.

Yes, that would be great James if someone could explain exactly how it works. I thought I understood it just addressed the starting line issue, but the more posts I see the more confused I am about the entire concept.

Ditto. I hit the Web for better details and found out CompuLink is working on an Infrared Wall to replace the current beams. We will start the clocks with the front most part of our cars rather than the front wheels.No good write up on Tru Start with details on what the lights and scoreboard do though...

If this is all it is doing it will be great...anything further would just complicate needlessly.

The basis of Tru-START is to have the same starting line "rules" in a handicapped race as would be in a heads up race where in a double red-light situation the WORST red would lose.

The way TruSTART works is pretty simple

In a double red situation, The Worst Red Light Loses... Period.
Regardless of if its a handicapped race, a heads up race, and regardless of the dial ins.

If Driver "A" is -002 Red and Driver "B" is -.018 Red; Driver "A" would be the winner regardless of which driver actually left the starting line first.

Visually, Tru-START was designed not to show the red light or scoreboard win light until both drivers leave the starting line. At that point the appropriate red-light(s) will be shown and winning scoreboard/ win-light will light up.

Below is a video Kyle and I did describing it before we used it at our Spring Fling events in 2016. The feedback we received post race was overwhelmingly positive.

Here is the invite to all

Billy, no apology necessary. The year you won the Division when you made the tow out to Phoenix is still one of my favorite stories!!!

4406mopar, my bad.

Tru Start is just going to be part of the "first or worst" rule. Not a big deal.

My run against Bob Gullet has nothing to do with my opinion. For years I've never understood why it didn't fall under the "first or worst" rule.

No sweat, the whining is really getting old! LOL
