Trustart Debate

I truly do not care which way it goes. I have to cut a light and run the number. Isn't that what we all have to do anyway? Being a faster car is not the ultimate advantage. In 2016, I think I left first 1 time. Being the second to leave takes serious concentration because of the slower car moving first. Track prep, wind, lanes, etc all have an effect on faster and slower cars.

Having grown up in this sport, we should be more concerned with the direction NHRA is going. Reduced car counts, less tech, terrible division directors, sub-par tracks, and so on should be what we are concerned about. Not whether or not Tru-Start is in effect or not. The same guys that win now, will win even if Tru-Start is in effect. Mainly because those guys are working on becoming better drivers year in and year out. Not asking for rules to be changed to accommodate their personal agenda.

Just my .02
