The prestage bulb does not have to be lit to get a green lite.
Do you use the line lock and a brake pressure gauge to set enough brake drag to hold the car when staging?
That's what most clutch racers I know do and unless there is a problem with too little air gap, their cars usually stay rock solid on the line.
Stage Loc as I understand it only has to do with keeping the Staged light on if the car rolls slightly backward after the staging light is lit and locked in .
