Tru start poll Division 6

[Sean Cour]

It's the slow takeover of the shoe polish regime! Unfortunately, it's gonna happen. Too many trophies that have been presented towards participation!

I just don't see what tru-Start has to do with the ruination of Stock and SS! I think that the loosening of all of the under hood rules have already done that!

It just seems like common sense that if the first to redlight loses then the first to break out should lose too.

It does make sense when comparing it to all the bracket racer rules. When stock and ss were first created, it was a performance based category, and people built cars to leave second because of the first chance of someone making a mistake. It's just another "let's make it fair" change. People build cars because of the way the rules are written.
Like I said, it's going to happen, whether I, or anyone else wants it to. Just frustrated with constant changes for the "bracket racer." Can we make all weight breaks 1 pound?

All that we've been doing for years is "bracket racing".
I'm OK with 1 pound weight breaks if that makes you feel better but we'll still be "bracket racing".

I'll bet we have more heads up racing with one pound breaks! That's all I ask for when it comes to class racing. The shoe polish regime can't duck and hide as easily from the possibilty of more heads up races this way. Like I said, it's going to happen whether you or I like it or not.

Anybody else remember when NHRA let the Divisions decide by vote if electronics would be legal to use in bracket classes? All were in favor except Div. #1. Sure wasn't a level playing field when meeting up with Div. #3 guys. I think it was like two years before they changed it to match.

Dial-in[edit]
Each car chooses a dial-in time before the race, predicting the elapsed time the driver estimates it will take his or her car to cross the finish line. This is usually displayed on one or more windows so the starter can adjust the "christmas tree" starting lights accordingly. The slower car in the race is given the green light before the faster car by a margin of the difference between their two dial-in times.

In principle, if both drivers have equal reaction times and their cars run exactly their posted dial-ins, both cars should cross the finish line at precisely the same time. In reality, this is an extremely rare occurrence. Measuring devices both at the start and at the end of the track post times down to 1/100000 of a second (0.00001s precision), which makes tied races almost impossible.

Some forms of bracket racing (NHRA Competition Eliminator, NHRA Stock groups) have cars classified by type, and the dial-in time is based on the type of car that is entered.
