Tru start poll Division 6

[Jim Johnston/6022]

For a variety of reasons i did not race last year, but would like to see tru-start implemented. I am old enough to remember running against the national record and the fast guys made the same kind of arguements.

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?

I agree

Sean, you have a point. Many people do build cars based on rules but not everyone. Just look at all the banter about wanting rule changes on here. Stock is only a few away from being lumped into super stock. I normally say no to any rule change but really don't feel very strongly about this one either way because it does not effect the performance part of the class. In a heads up nothing changes.

DILLiAGAF lets just do away with heads ups runs also that would also make it fair for the slower cars in the same class and cheaper for everybodys wallet, now I'm for that no more changing oil and ice just race the guy in the other lane and you don't have to check the ladder every round.

So a lot of you built FASTER cars ( A/S A/SA).....Put a lot of time , money and effort into being the big dogs in Stock Eliminator...That has all come to a screeching halt since the newer, faster and more expensive cars make you guys look like turtles out there....So if you want to still be the fast guy you had better sell your nostalgia stocker and dump another 100 grand plus into this diminishing disproportionate sport.....OR you can lobby to make it fairer for all, not just for the ones with the big wallet.........

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".
