My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.

My way of thinking with the deep staging allowed for all.
The Racers who win the most are the racers who race the most and spend the most money in expenses just to win the Championship for the purse of a measly $10,000 In my opinion, using instant green

Red Lights will be less of a factor now so the racers who don't race as much with financial restrictions or the States where there are no more race tracks can at least have a little better chance of winning a few rounds
I am just thinking out loud freezing here in Baltimore

I would only be in favor of the instant green in heads up runs.

If you are going to have instant green and deep staging,might as well have delay boxes permitted as said earlier and leave it the way it is now.

No, no and no!
I left super gas racing to get away from delay boxes and throttle stops slowing everyone down to 9.90. Pro Tree and Instant Green would be a mess using handicap starts. At least in the .90 category the cars leave together on the tree. I hated sitting against the converter when we had a slow tree. From the drivers seat waiting for a little over a second seems like an eternity. Imagine running your A or B stock car against a 14 or 15 second car, what are you going to do sit against the converter that long or try to anticipate the difference? The fans in the stands aren’t going to like it either. I like watching the countdown from the stands it gives you the perspective of the difference between the cars, something that you will lose with a pro tree style handicap start.
