A low boost leave is better than a redlight. Traction went away last year in the final round, too. Low boost might be the key in not blowing the tires off.
The usual anti protree argument starts off buy saying something like "back in 1992 we tried Pro tree and it sucked..."
Ten years ago when no decent torque converter existed for a big turbo I could see it, but it's 2002. If someone needs three seconds to spool their turbo, they need to think about investing in a torque converter, or getting a smaller turbo.
Street race nights are all "instant green" around here, now, which is a lot harder than pro tree. Most of the mustang people that will show up, bracket race
A LOT. If you look around the pits, there are almost no "everyday driver" mustangs that show up. Most are bracket cars.
If anyone thinks that a sportsman tree will be an advantage for the "once in a while buick racer", I'm telling you it aint gonna happen.
The Fords may kill us even with the Pro tree, but at least every race will be exciting to the spectators for the whole run (vs. a redlight start......
