I then wait for the other guy to prestage.
In the last couple of races I have been to more then 50% of the time the other guy has been double bulbing me, forcing me to be the last to stage.

Glenn knowing you prefer to pre-stage first and being your competition I can say that I would pre-stage before you to throw your game off. With me being a clutch car once both cars a pre-staged I start to bring my RPM's up and begin to roll in. The only ritual I have is I try to do my burnout at the same time as my competition for the show.

I embrace the entire "nostalgia" package :)

You are agreeing or disagreeing with staging etiquette?
I try and present an unflappable appearance, I will take what ever you give me and run my race.

Glenn I am on your side--if the guy stage backwards on purpose to gain an illegal advantage he is an
A#@H*&^ and deserves a word behind the trailer to correct his abuse.
Really the track should have put you in next round and tossed him out. Rules say you must stage in forward motion--everone should know that--if he did not know it --he should remember well after having a round taken away
Tracks are SLACK when it comes to things like these--just ask all the footbrake guys that get slaughtered every week by cars that are illegal and NEVER teched and checked and tossed out
I am doing the FED thing for fun so these type issues don't bother me like they used to when we bracket raced 3 days a week

Staging in reverse then nailing first gear is a good way to have an explosion with many transmissions! Just sayin

Wow, it sure sounds like I have a lot to learn about racing. Been around the tracks for years but never noticed those games before. I have seen guys staging while backing up but didn't know it was illegal. Just an amateur I guess?

I'm not sure where the conversation came from on staging while backing up?
The last move to stage must be in a forward direction.
What I was talking about was double bulbing.
What should happen is one racer sets the pre stage light and then waits until the second racer lights his pre stage light and then waits for the first racer to set the staged light before the second racer moves forward to set his staged light.

Guess I' m alittle at a loss. I always wait for the other person to pre stage, but after that I stage when I am ready. Not based on who pre staged 1st or 2nd.
