This is all just my opinion.. Chip Horton was years back.. Now its Nick Hastings. I wish I new his secret to cutting awesome lights for years? He is the man. Much Respect

Kevin Pollard.

Take care. Tom Worthington

Usain BOLT has to be up there.

Nick Hastings or Pollard.

There are a lot of other great ones

Big money footfeeder, you mean. There are guys who never go to those races who are just as deadly.

I have heard rumors about his secret but I won't spread it nor would I use it if true.

When they accuse you of cheating, ya got em right where you want em indeed.

What is even the definition of a foot racer anymore?

Yellow Cavalier from years past.

I believe its a Chevelle

Yeah, what was his name? His wife also raced, and I believe he was on here in the early days?

Maybe Steve something?

Steve Taylor was considered pretty good back in the day.
Eric Aman, Tommy Duff, Steve and Richard Alford are good footbrakers from my neck of the woods too.

Thanks Mike, I believe it was Steve Taylor.
Who was WAY ahead of his time with the concept that he tried pushing for years, which is what we now call True Start. IIRC he called it a Worst Red Light option. I wonder if that thread is still on here, or if it was dumped during the purge about 15 years back...

Jody Lang is pretty bad ass when he shows up...

Rumors huh you won't spread any, but you post up here like you know something. Drama much?

True Start should have been in place from the get go IMO. Wish more tracks would run it.

I have never heard a valid opinion as to why people dislike True Start. Typically, all they can say is "Well its always been this way"

Steve and Brenda Taylor were both pretty good. They took lowly stock Cavaliers and made fools of many a high dollar race car and driver. They also brought Steve Stites into that mix.

As someone said above "what is foot brake?" I recently attended a race called "the no button nationals". Buttons everywhere. My opinion is a foot brake racer needs no buttons period. Their is a class for button racers.

There are lots of opinions.You probably said you haven't heard a valid one because you disagree.
My opinion is that the faster car should have an advantage that the other car redlights and the race is over.
And I race in Stock Eliminator with one of the slowest cars in the class.Running low 11's,I rarely leave second.I almost always have the first chance to redlight.
I think it probably makes sense when both racers are leaving off of the same signal with delay boxes.
But I'm just not a fan of it.Probably getting old and set in my ways.
