When I first started racing I never could understand the courtesy staging deal  Do your burnout,get set,then you have to wait for the other guy to get his poop in a group  I run an alternator and a good cooling system so I can wait an hour for the other guy to think about what he's going to do to beat me. When I was asked by the starter to back out of the beams and wait for the other guy I quit turning both bulbs on  I don't understand what takes so long for some guys to stage maybe someone can enlighten me Gus

It is not for people to take their time to stage. It is because some people rush up there and and put both lights on to rush the other guy. I think it is good to have courtesy staging. If you can wait a hour as you say for the other guy why are you trying to rush somebody to stage up.

It only stands to reason that if you rush an opponent, he's likely gonna go out of his way to make you wait. I can only speak for myself, but I always assume that if someone lights both bulbs one after the other before the opponent pre-stages, they either don't understand what it is they're doing, or they do understand and are knowingly giving a middle finger to the guy in the other lane.
