TruSTART system to be used at the 2017 Division 6 ET Finals

[Carguy49]

The way the original post reads ALL operators voted unanimously to use Tru-Start. I don't know if all 19 track operators attended the meeting, but it sounds like they did. This would include Bremerton, the track run at an airport.

By all events I would assume that would mean bracket races, the 6 Divisional races and the Northwest Nationals. I know assume is a loaded word, but it should be all or nothing. Can Tru-Start be turned off for certain events, or is it on all the time?

Yes, it is true I don't have a dog in this hunt. I am involved in the sport and have many friends that have a vested interest in what happens in and to the sport.

I think the article would have been worded much differently if the track operators had voted unanimously to use TruSTART at all events at all tracks in 2017.

I'm pretty sure the article is stating that all tracks voted unanimously to use TruSTART at the 2017 D6 ET Finals event.

Whether each track uses TruSTART throughout the season is up to each track independently and would not require permission from the division or a vote.

I don't see why it wouldn't be unfair for the ET Finals to be run on TruSTART for racers that didn't use it all season. It shouldn't change your approach to racing and doesn't change the look of the race unless you went red first AND worst, in which case you are notified of your loss a little bit later in the run.

Tracks run their seasons with different rules from the ET Finals ALL THE TIME. I see it most with regard to ET breaks; lots of 8-second Pro ET cars either switch to Super Pro or slow their cars down above 9.00 for the ET Finals.

The complete timing system is just a computer program. Full tree, Pro tree, different delays between bulbs, TruStart. They are all selections on a computer screen.

It has always been somewhat handy to know if you are racing on a .400 tree or a .500 tree.
