I did it once last year by accident but I like to prestage and then wait for the other racer to prestage. Then I come up on the converter a little and go in and stage. I know most tracks want everyone to courtesy stage. But it really don't bother me either. Ron

For those of you who don't understand Dragstrip timing systems, Including You QUICKTREE(with a screen name like this you really should know these things) here it is.
Many timing systems as stupid, as it is, and use a system called autostart. Not all but many of these autostart timing systems start timing off once either lane has staged. So, yes it screws the other driver as he had the pre-determined time to pre-stage and stage. If they have a routine after being pre-stage, I don't. These routines include shifting to neutral and so-called clearing the motta out(BS this just squirts multiple pump shots of fuel in the engine that does noty get burned) or purging nitrous. This just screws them up and that's why A----S like to do this. They can't win a race racing straight up so they have to pull some chicken crap on the line to throw their opponent off. I DON'T DO THIS. The one time I did by accident I offered to give the win up to my opponent. Hey it was an accident? Yes, but if I can't handle staging I have no business racing. I deserved the run overturned. Jim Hubber the nice guy that he is declined.
Double bulb me if you want. That just tells me you have no clue how to handle your car. Or you are just a S-------D who can't win without tricks. I just take a deep breath and stage because I don't have any routines between stage bulbs. Either way I now you are weak and I and going to ramp up to A-Game and bust your balls and show you what the back end of my car looks like when I turn the win light on.

Well said Leon, that's why don't do it, I don't play game's, so I do my best to put them on the trailer.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

save it Leon  never seen any auto start, start the timing untill both drivers have turned on the top bulbs. staging battles have been a part of drag racing since the beginning. if you can't handle what ever happens at the line you need more practice.

I have personally seen this happen on two different occassions at two different tracks(NOT NHRA).
I am editing.
Evidently somewhere in the last 15 years of being an NHRA member, not going to take the time to look it up, the rule seems to dissapeared. Used to be a rule in Race Procedures if I remember where it was correctly. Stating to courtesy stage. No points deducted or rounds overturned for not doing it but just a rule with no concesquences. The starter could back you out and make you restage, I guess.
I just looked in my NHRA 2009 rule book under Race Procedures, which I beleive has moved to the front half of the book. This is what it says..
"When staging in SS,S,SC,SG, or SStreet categories, both contestants must activate their pre-stage lights before either may advace into the stage beams." In other words courtesy stage.

For whatever that was worth

Like I said if you can't do any better than breaking rules that are spelled out in the NHRA rulebook(THIS RULE HAS NO CONCIQENCES IT IS A RULE OF DECENCY) go ahead that just tell everyone watching what you are.

I believe whole heartedly in courtesy staging...But don’t let me know if it pisses you off if I don’t do it.... If you can’t change up you game based on the situation... you need more seat time.

One of the tracks I race at the starter backed the guy out after double bulbing before the other guy was no where near the tree.... happened right ahead of me while I was waiting to do my burnout... I wondered what that was about, then I was told (couldnt hear it in the car) the announcer said over the PA what the process was

exactly, it shouldn't make any difference.
