If a racer chooses to stage either shallow, medium or deep, The racer must stage the same distance everytime for good R/T's and consistant E/T's.
If a racer stages the exact same way everytime and the other racer doesn't, well that would make one racer a better stager than the other.
That's my take on the subject.

Well the reason I asked was because I was reading someones post in the Multimedia section about how a lady can stage better than most people and usually take them out of the hole. Sorry bout the confusing stuff.

Well if you actually want a better ET, then ALWAYS stage as shallow as you can. It gives you a head start on the beams and the timer wont start for about a foot or so. You may or may not be more consistent with your R/T's. You just have to change when you leave...2nd amber, 3rd etc. It just takes practice.

All change your roll out.

Tom,
Just pointing out that roll out is often different from track to track. Also slight changes in car set up will have a big effect on reaction time. If you are .498 red a change of two psi in the front tires will put you back in the green. That is if you can stage and launch the car the same each time. But, if you are only running test and tune events, it doesn't really matter.
Best Regards,
Daren
