If your car can't handle being on the converter...change converters or add a restictor plate.
I've had to race 18 second pickup trucks at the Mopar Nats two years straight...nothing you can do. No problems with the convertor. And I agree about the luck of the draw. But giving 8-9 sec in the 1/4 is different than over 7 in the 1/8th. Thats just a lot of track to make up in such a short distance. Heck when I'm running a mid 4 sec dragster he only has to give up a little over 2 sec. Just my opinion like everyone else. I feel the faster car gets that break. Been on both sides of it. I'm just lucky to have many track options in Ohio. I can choose to race where I agree with their rules.
Ok

This is the 2nd year that our track has been using Tru Start. I like it!! Yup, I've raced at Numidia with it and I love it. I've been the faster car with it, the slower car with it, have won rounds with it and have lost rounds with it. All I care about is a fair race and Tru-Start makes it fair. Handicapped bracket racing was borne out of traditional drag racing with the 'worse redlight' rule, so the same rule should have always applied to bracket racing. Now it does thanks to Tru-Start.
