Not that it really matters, and I know this is off-topic, but...

I really don`t care how the stick racer`s are staging when I run them. Courtesy Staging eliminated additional options on when some racers enter the stage beam regardless of transmission they are running or running against.

Maple grove raceway announced today they upgraded to and will run truSTART this year in their bracket, junior and index programs. They are the 23rd track to upgrade so far.

Do you have a list of the tracks who upgraded?

It will be interesting to see how Allen Reinhardt will take to the new tree if nhra considers it. On Joe Costello's radio show back in 2011 he was totally opposed to the idea because the fast car has to wait, he should get the knod.

I thought the fast car waited anyway?

I am not sure why this is related to stick car. This could be done and is done by many cars. Stick and auto. If you are implying that stick cars can't or don't bump in after prestaging, I would disagree. In cars that I drive that have a stage gauge, I typically bump in. In ones that don't I generally don't. I never considered that to be a component of courtesy staging and certainly don't use it as any kind of starting line game. Just because you prestige first doesn't mean you get to stage first. Am I missing something?

I have rolled into the pre-stage first and looked down at my gauges and when I looked up the stick car had both lights lit.......

Now I let the stick car light his pre-stage and slow everything down...

I am not the brightest bulb but I can learn....

I get it.....................

You said I 5 times..............

Not ALL but a LOT of stick cars wait for the other car to stage and then roll in and don't stop at the after the pre-stage......

This is NOT illegal in the eyes of Auto-Start.....

But, almost all automatic cars stop after they light the pre-stage and have there own procedure to run through before staging. Such as bringing to engine up to leave RPM and bumping in or rolling in at idle, set the brakes and bring it up on the the 2-step

My comment was if I (ME) stage last against a stick car then it forces the stick car to stop after they light the pre-stage and then they just can't roll in in light both.......

No worries Bob, I am a stick racer. I have raced automatics as well. There isn't really an advantage to "just rolling in" for me anyway" every racer has stuff to do after three bulbs are lit. I do think it is plenty of time for stick or auto racers to get prepared though. I guess I have never been one to always stage first or last all of the time. If we ever get to race, I will certainly let you prestage first if you prefer. LOL.
Six "I's" this time. A new personal best.
