Lightbulb Re: Pro tree

I would think in this day and age, you should be able to tell the tower what kind of tree that you would like on your side ((5 tenths Pro or Full for S/SS.

Lets say you have a lower class car and need OR just like a full tree you put an "F" in front of your dial-in.

If you want a pro 5 tenths then you would put an "X" in front of your dial.

Reduce confusion by using an "X" and not an "P" Because they could get mixed-up or misread in the tower.

I don't know it's just an idea.. and it would end the blinder debate.

Let's just keeping changing the rules once a week and in about 6 months we'll have
totally destroyed a system that has worked fairly well,till a bunch of malcontents/no racing crybabies decided that because they can't excell want the sport dumbed down so that
they might have a chance do do well.

The MOST fun I've ever had driving my car was when I talked D5 into letting us run our own Top Stock a few years ago. There first time I raced a pro tree and had it hung on the limiter waiting for the lights to come down I was all smiles

The problem was there was no parachute lever to throw at the end of the run...ha!

Exactly. I do not get how some people cant see that this is more exciting (for heads up racing). If Pro Stock switched to a five tenths tree it would not be nearly as much fun to watch.

Can you say that for sure?Quite a few P/S racers came from sportsman racing and they
understand the concept of the 5/10s tree.Make it a 4/10s tree.Hey there's guys that want a pro tree in S/SS heads up races.So as long as we're changing the sport just for the sake of change why not try this too?Starting to sound like 2008 "We need a change".

Tony I do ok with a pro tree. I dont think it would be a good idea to use a pro tree for heads up than go back to a fivetenths tree for dial in races.

It doesnt matter what someone wanted to change or try on here, you would still disagree with it. Top Stock was very exciting to watch because it was a pro tree. Its "heads up" racing and there is nothing wrong with running in on a pro tree. The Pros have been doing it for years. Ed, you might even like it in that little AMC of yours.
