TruSTART looks to level the playing field.

I don't think any stick guy is doing this intentionally but you realize it takes more time for us to go in. In order to not hold up the guy in the other lane, I'm pretty much going to start the procedure as soon as both cars are prestaged. I'm trying to be a good guy, not trying to mess up the guy in the other lane.

I also thought the idea of instant green was pretty comical. If we go to instant green, you can kiss any stick car goodbye. I'm going to build a SS/AM car with a trans brake, pretty safe bet that guy is going to win every time.

Would you like to tell Peter Biondo, Kyle Seipel and, Bob Brockmeyer your feelings about that,? I'm sure they'd be very interested in your thoughts on the subject..

What is the violation there? You prestaged first, so the only Courtesy Staging violation would be for you to stage before he is prestaged.

You should try hooking a "slow" car with WAAAAY too much gear and converter sometime. At least a "fast" car will somewhat recover. I won't even get into how much a "slow" car swings with weather and wind changes.

There was no violation of the Auto-Start and I never said that there was....

It's legal but it’s not courtesy.........

Violation of Courtesy Staging is what I meant. And I'm still not following what you think did not follow Courtesy Staging in your scenario.

What do you know about the staging process for Stock Eliminator cars???

It's a bit different from Super Street or Super Gas.....

I bracket race far more than I Super-Class race, and most often bottom bulb/footbrake. To my knowledge, Courtesy Staging means that neither driver fully stages until both drivers have prestaged.

You prestaged first, which means the other driver is free to light both bulbs. If you are careless and decide to check your gauges without seeing where the other car is in his process and he decides to roll right into the Stage bulb, that does not translate to stick drivers not honoring Courtesy Staging as you stated.
