I've just had a little conversation with Hisself, and I've got some dope I'm allowed to share: ProSolo is getting a new timing system! Yes, that's right, hell has frozen over and Roger loses the bet.

... Who do we need to talk to to ask that ET + RT count in class stuff as well? Otherwise, the whole "careful you don't redlight" part of ProSolo is gone which, IMHO, was a fun part. Don't forget, t

Assuming you don't make the challenges....yes. :-) This will be a big change. I can see some positives, but unfortunately, we do lose something from the class competition reaction times. However, I

If we assumed that the classes ran with the same et + rt that the challenge will use, the advantage is that you _know_ your reaction time vs. just guess like we used to do. So if I cut a .400 (or a

All the people I have spoken too are saying the same thing. It makes no sense to do otherwise except to create confusion; either use it for both class and challenge runs or not at all. Mark Sipe

As I understand it, that et only result is a hardwired limitation of the drag racing based system. It can do et + rt in the challenges because it uses both to calculate the winning margin, which is c

Well I must be ill-informed (which wouldn't be a first) because I fail to understand why et + rt is important for the challenge and not for the class. You have et + rt in heads-up drag racing; how is

AFAIK - and please note that I have NO influence on this at _all_ - this is a function of the new timing system being based on an off-the-shelf drag race timing system. To do otherwise would require

I for one applaud the effort to add measured rt to the launches as its something that's been missing that would be fun, help drivers improve, give announcers something to talk about, etc. That's rea

Last I heard, drag racing didn't give out class winner trophies for qualifying. Like it or not, many of us don't expect or will never make the challenge. Why would you want to take the importance of

But as the Challenge is the whole point of the event, that R/T is still pretty damned important. And there's the bonus money for best class comp. R/T too. An Announce Repeater panel (which may or ma

This is where we fundamentally disagree. The damn Challenge is NOT the whole point of the event. For many/most of us, the challenge is somehting that happens while we're driving back home, happy tha

There's usually bonus money or something for the #1 qualifier. Quite often series points as well. If you win your class, you're probably (almost certainly) going to make the Challenge. If you don't
