Hey all. Any feedback on auotstart?

Turbo Bob

I heard absolutely no complaints from our racers. Everything went very well.

Thank you guys and again congrats to all the winners.

Never even noticed a difference.

Even the red light works great

The 3 second delay from stage to start was noticable, but i like knowing the tree isn't going to come down the moment i stage. Overall, i think it was an improvement

Eric Fischer

I agree!. It worked great and as far as know, no one got timed out.

REDGAR

You mean 1.2 to 1.7 second delay

Autostart should be a non-issue.

Mr Mojo

If nobody told me about it, I'd never have known.

Mr Mojo

Another nonissue as far as I could see was no more DEEP staging, at least the starter will not honor "DEEP" on your window, so if you wanted to stage deep, you had to stage first.

ralph

If so, then i still don't get it. I thought they increased to stage to start time from +/- 1 second to +/-3 seconds to give deep stagers some time to get in

REDGAR

3 sets of stage on you have 10 seconds to light the fourth
Once the fourth is on you have 1.2 to 1.7 for the first yellow to come on.

Deep stager has time but only if opponent does not light the fourth

ralph

You sure about that Big? Not what i read elsewhere.

REDGAR

Which part? Got it right form the track. Point me at what you red if you can.

Deep stagers no longer "have to" go in first. You just have to be able to deep stage within the autostart parmeters. No big deal.

kazman

Edgar, you can go in and fully shallow stage (both of your lights on). I'll still be able to fully deep stage and be ready to go out first. I did that at MG all last year. My benifit this year not being required to have deep on the car. Last season deep was not honored at the Grove and I lost count of the number of shallow cars that quick stage on me.

If you check page 7, Bud McNasby confirmed the change to 3 seconds. Bud runs a school at Atco, so i trust he's correct, but i guess every track might be different. I thought Wayne also confirmed the change on another post here, but not certain. I would be good to get confirmation tho.

I'd suggest that whatever the new rules are, that e-town post it on the flyer that they hand out when you pay your entry fee. Ya' know the flyer that lists the lane assignments and all that...

The only difference I saw was the lack of a quick tree, a good thing. Overall a good job by the starters as things were kept moving.
