Because of tru-start, he wins the round (less red than me), wins the race and eventually, the championship. (take the round away from him & put it in my total & we have a different champion). This the only track that I have ever run at that uses tru-start.
But still, had a couple of RU's, had fun and can't wait til this season! This is the 1/4 mile Sportsman class (true footbrake) at Bristol Dragway.

Gateway in St. Louis uses true-start also. Great if you have the better red light and leave first. Not so-- the other way
