Default Re: The Compulink AUTO START System once armed to :ON

Digest all those timing variables, do a crapload of math, guess and you are going to get caught, the starter as long as he has a clear track, can arm it early, or as late as both fully staged (though that is dangerous), as long as the class isn't allowed to burnout across the line that is on the arming it early.

Then, once armed, 3rd light lit, flashes don't count pretty much, pre/ post counts are finished, tree activation (never exactly repeated the same, as timing variations are preset to be a dice roll game by the computer coding), just emulating a human without any emotions. So, most of the situations in the thread pretty much can happen, nobody is really wrong, almost all can be right.

It is the ruleset (not taking the system into account, that is currently wrong). As once armed (Starter go signal, competitive drivers start or activation is in their hands, and you can actually attempt a qualifying pass by just pre-staging, can foul out and never actually get staged, can have an incomplete pass, and never actually get staged up, as long as you prestaged together if that switch was thrown by the starter to Compulink Sure Start :ON, and the rules say an incomplete pass is assigned a 28.00 second qualifying time. Broke or not, later Q passes count, C1 in our case is advertised and announced also as Q2.

But, without the system even mentioned in Section 2, Race Proceedures it is then something that will create conflicts, and push decisions off onto NHRA Division or National Event Director(s). And on the fly decisions like that (for no good reason at all), are not fair to them, or the competitors.

Anyone actually disagree that the ruleset needs ammending? Please enter the debate, state your case.
