Pulling forward in the lanes with other cars, that depends. Here in Tucson the evening temps can exceed 100 degrees most nights. I DON'T start my engine and pull forward everytime the line moves. It is really no big deal if you don't do that. You are not going further than the front of the lane anyway until you are pulled out to the water box by the lane steward.



I'm guilty of this, and will continue to do so. As Bill said, you can not go very far anyways. I'll wait at lest 5 car lengths, or move when someone waves me forward. Tearing up clutch discs, and heat in the motor, to go 5 feet is a waste.

Staging depends on the track. We don't do courtesy staging here. Some tracks do, you should watch what the locals do. I like the autostart. It gets rid of the guys who like to screw around getting staged. I usually wait for the other lane to at least light the top bulb before staging the rest of the way.



Courtesy staging, should be done at EVERY track. I do like the auto start also.
