But, the worst redlight is also the first to redlight in all of those catagories

Go to search window and type in truestart. You will see what everyone thought back in 2016. It ended up being quite even with opinions

And enthusiastic

The slow car's lite should not change from green on the hit to Red after the faster car leaves. Could the tree be set so no lite, Red or Green, is shown until second car launches?

I'm not for True Start. What happens on identical red lites? Rerun, first lite looses, does the last light loose, or is the "program" set up so left lane always wins if tied at the seventh place to the right of decimal point?

Seems like a great way to slowdown a race program and cause confusion for the fans. The last thing nhra wants or needs.

We don't confuse the fans. When a FS/AA car Runs a AAF/S and the FS/AA car runs 8.39 on a 8.41 dial under, with an index of 9.40, but wins because the AAF/S went 13.47 on a 13.50 index and didn't dial under.
And then we are going to review the HP of the FS/AA car for going more than a second under, no, but wait, it was mine shaft, so no review. The average fan has a handle on what we do, right? J.R.

You're posting about different points, not double red lights.

What on Earth are you talking about???

There is absolutely no impact to the flow of the race program.

It is laughable to think that any sportsman drag racing policy would be dictated by impact to the fans!

I have experienced the confusion first-hand. At a bracket, using a full tree, in the final I raced a slower dragster. She left first by a few hundreths and her green light was on until I left. She redlighted, then my win light turned on on the scoreboard. It was a weird delay. I'll bet their reaction was one of surprise as well.
I believe that when this was enacted at the Spring Fling, there were only a very small number of runs that were corrected for the double red lights, out of thousands of runs.
Seems we are trying to fix something that may help a small number of races out of the tens of thousands each year.
Back in the day before delay boxes, I preferred being the car leaving first.
