Stage lock is part of the computer program the way I understand it.
I do not like the blinking stage light and lost several times by being late or red because of it. Once in the final of a National Event due to that happening. Not my light blinking, just being thrown off by it. I can not ever remember blinking my stage light in 30 plus years of doing this.
Once the fully staged light comes and goes out the next function should be a red light however, that is not the way it works all the time.
NHRA should figure this out at all the tracks not just some of them and be consistent with its implementation across all the tracks/events. For all the event not just part of it.
Just My 2 Cents

Rick:: I, like most stage as shallow as I can and have blinked the stage light numerous times, unintentionally. Don't think I should be red lighted . Also don't really understand . Stage Lock. Does anybody ?
