Which Class to Race in?
stage as shallow as you can and leave when the 2nd yellow shuts off , or deep as suggested above by a guy that cuts .020's (damn) I am usually .030's but only race once a year if I am lucky , probably best try both and any other suggestions you get before the actual event , everybody has what works for them between their ears but you definitely need to tighten that number up - the good news is you recognize that

I usually stage as soon as the second light barely comes on, footbrake, RPM's 12-1500, front tires 38, rear tires depends on track that day but between 18 and 22.

You can always dump .1 or .05 but you can never make it up if you need to. What I mean is if you do not have a perfect launch or something else is not quite perfect and your down some on your et you are in trouble where as if you have .05 in the bank you can make it up. You do not need to beat anyone by a car length just 1 inch. That is what the brake pedal is for. Go on youtube and search( BE 00 Take 00 ) and watch some of the guys play the game.

Hold .05-.10 Run it out to the 1000' marker then adjust to take stripe by a small mov. Taking a car length will most likely give you a break out loss. Start adjusting (backing in or slowing down) at the 1000' mark and you can make 5-6 adjustments. Look across and try to put your nose (your face) even with the middle of your opponents windshield piller. Crossing at the finish there should give you a .019-.010 first to cross mov and a win.
Take your full out time slip (time run) and subtrack the 1000' ET from the 1/4 mile ET. This factor can be added to your elimination 1000' to give you a good ball park of what you would of run if you didn't lift\brake.
Its easier to drive the top end holding more not less. Less your catching (or being caught) too close to the finish line to respond.
