At epping, there was a noticeable difference between friday and sunday. Had to creep further in to light second bulb.
The distance between the pre-stage and stage beam is irrelevant to your rollout if you are shallow-staged. You could take the pre-stage beam and throw it away. For shallow stagers, rollout is determined by the HEIGHT of the STAGE beam. Changing the distance between the pre-stage and stage beams would effect the rollout for a car that is Deep-staged.
