I guess Tom V must conclude that every racer on the show except Kelly is as dumb as a rock.
cosgrove, if everything was fair, then all would run at the same weight but this is street racing. Kelly has an advantage with his vehicle weight, all understand that deal. The Crow-Mod will even out some of that deal.

Kelly has raced with Different Starters over the years, obviously Justin cannot be the starter and the driver of the GTO at the same time, DOH!

I have nothing against Mr Kelly, I just always root for Justin and the other 405 guys to win in those races. So far that deal has not happened much.

Cosgrove, you and others want to say that I am calling you dumb. Don't believe that I have done that in this topic, George is the one calling people names, not me.

I just asked if people knew why Kelly always leaves first and always gets a "Green Light" consistently vs a "Red Light" that typically all others get occasionally.

So again, You and other PY members, when you don't or can't answer the question, revert to "Kill the Messenger" or "Call The Messenger" names. At least you are consistent on that deal. Why don't you just answer the question, what is the "Tell" that gives Kelly the advantage or is it a piece of equipment that gives him the advantage and he just 'dials it in' based on the starter.

Have a nice evening.
