Ahh, brings back a funny memory. I was invited to visit B1wes, and drive the car a pass or two. I have a routine i follow for burnout and staging. I get the tires up to speed, and as soon as i see smoke let go of the linelock and go almost the whole distance to the beams, and quickly. I usually am within six inchs of the prestage when i stop. Without asking, or letting me know, this guy jumps out in front of Wes' car during the burnout, to "guide" me into the grove. I don't need a guide, didn't ask for one, and wasn't going to let this guy mess the run up unless he got run over by me. At the last instant this guy figures it out! And jumps out of the way just in time. The run went flawlessly grin
