They usually are breaking it up into two stages, for two reasons. The first reason for traction and the other to try to keep it all together. It's less of a strain doing two stages then one large stage. Some people choose a dry first stage so they can have their timing pulled a little and the dry kits are usually more inexpensive.

I mainly added the second stage dry for the reasons that Matt went over. But the biggest reason I did that over a progressive controller or even another wet stage, was money. I think I only spent $130 to tack on the dry stage, cheap and effective. Plus I think I would pull all my hair out trying to adjust a progessive controller so I get the max out of every pass at the track, and then resetting to work on the street, and trying to get it reset again if I run from a roll. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

What they said, and many feel a dry hit is safer. Another reason to stick a wet into the mix is an easy way to get high octane fuel into the mix (stand alone fuel system). Dry-Wet-Dry, or dry, dry, dry with a propane kicker is the way I will be going. Oh and the last reason, to save a stock bottom end and corvette rear ends. Further more, a nitrous car that spreads the torque out (linear), rather than a all in one wonder mega torque hit, will in fact win more races. Also, much less will/can go wrong on a dry.
