So a higher class stick car gets to sit there with the engine reved up in the thunder zone while waiting on the other car to leave then for his light to come on? That'll junk up the starting line quick and park a lot of stick cars..

Beside that, no one decides when to rev their engine into the thunder zone, except for you ,my friend. Way too little here , and much too late...

Stick drivers that use blinders bring it up early now. I don't see it as a big deal as long as you use a two step and put the rpm where you are comfortable with it.

The guy Chris is talking about has been driving stick cars for over 50 years. He does not have a two step, either.

I say this as a person that could care less about true start one way or the other. Just wondering what I am missing.

Thanks, maybe I'm missing something. There was mention of the pro start with a .500 light.

They're not doing that Chris. Just changing to worst red light.

Thank you for your replies, perhaps ya'll can straighten me out.
What if you have to leave at 8600rpm to get a good leave? You can't just park there at 8600 and wait for a light to come on. Last edited by Christopher Stewart; 07-24-2016 at 09:34 PM. |

you would leave as you do now, the red light decision comes on after faster car leaves
