A Instant Green for Super Stock

[James Hensler]

.400 Pro Tree would get my vote! It can even be handicapped for different ET cars. NMRA did this back in the 90’s

Besides the fact that this is one of the silliest threads I've ever seen, IF
it had to be done, it would need to be a .500 Pro Tree to allow for all cars
to have a somewhat even chance.

ran instant green DYO a couple weeks ago , 0.400 tree here in Oz for all racing
2 things I see ,
1 it takes delay box out of the equation . We were mixed box/no box
2 lighter / faster cars have a bigger advantage . Hard to get my near 3800 lb Satellite going from 2000 when footbraking .
Pro tree DYO is a bit better with 1 warning light

We did try a .500 but people still redlit a lot. Deepstaging was allowed in Mod Motor and Open Comp so sure that’s not an issue

Dirk I will tell you why not. What happens the first time the racers are staged up and are suppose to be getting a pro tree and the person in the tower forgets to turn to switch it over? Is it a re run? Or the tree is set on a .4 tree. It would never work.

Actually, the tree parameters are defined for each individual eliminator.

My way of thinking with the deep staging allowed for all. The Racers who win the most are the racers who race the most and spend the most money in expenses just to win the Championship for the purse of a measly $10,000
In my opinion, using instant green

My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.

I could see that, but don’t agree that a system that rewards completely lucky guessing is the proper direction for the sport.
