    I'm thinkin about going to Rockingham next weekend for the Spring Blast.
    Bracket racers will run on a Pro Tree...I dial a 1.047 delay for a Sportsman tree...what should the delay be for a .400 and .500 pro tree?:huh:

    for .500 start at .047. for .400 turn the box off. dont just set .000. if the box is powered up it can still cause a slight delay, except maybe dedenbear.

    be aware. pro tree will be different to you & you may see the tree differently. its much quicker. when all 4 stage yellows go on, go to the floor then. dont hesitate. you have about 1 second to get fully up on the converter. if you're not fully against the converter, your lights will vary. i tend to watch the middle amber. i seem more consistent that way.

    this advice is for heads up, altho on a handicap start if you are the fast car, you probably cant delay going to the floor. if you are racing a 2 second slower car, you will be on the button about 3 seconds.

    have fun!
