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

As long as all buybacks race each other to go into the next round, I've never minded it. Helps the track, and I'm always for that.

I can't see why anyone would not like it, frankly. When you have two cars with close dials, the argument for it becomes even more relevant. Two cars .15 apart. One goes .004 red, the next goes .007. From the outside, it's almost impossible to see the stagger in their respective trees, yet the first loses on a smaller infraction. Tru-Start returns the win to the best racer.

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.
