Now that you can't walk out on a starting line without losing a shoe because we are racing in a time when the starting lines are spray-glued, the possibility of a "fast" Stocker spinning are significantly less. With that being said, I do think that it's time for NHRA to commit to Tru-start. It only seems fair to take away both disadvantages.

Billy you have some valid points - but when was the last time you sat on the converter giving a six second head start ? Fast cars can't always wait for the green .....How about we switch cars one day.
