I know that some racers refuse to light the top bulb first so they wait for their opponent to light the bulb then they go in. I've seen a lot of driver do many different things from checking the gauges, to saying a prayer to adjusting their gloves. It's sort of their version of a batter in the batters box.

I personally do my burn-out, clear the motor, make sure all the switches are on, check the gauges, make the sign of the cross, slap my hands and then roll into the beams. I really don't care if I'm the 1st or 2nd driver to light the stage bulb but, I notice that my lights are a lot better when I'm the 2nd one to light the stage bulb.
