1SG02; I can't agree with you more! It is not Jim's responsibility to go in first just because he knows Ed likes to stage last. Everyone should just stage however it works out. I just do my thing and if I get there first, fine. If I don't that's fine too. I agree with CBS, the race should be won or lost on the track not because someone is playing games on the starting line. It is called "courtesy staging" for a reason. That is just not courteous! I would melt my motor to the ground before I would go in first against anyone like this!

Staging games are bad...whats the big deal...99 percent of everybody stages properly....I remember back a few years ago...a certain group of racers used to back into the beams...and with their past history....everybody(not me really) took offense to it...So they were told not to do it anymore...and now a few years later...not only have these guys won more races....we actually like them....and enjoy racing with them....

I'm thinking its a west coast thing.....

I think I woke Todd up....did I strike a nerve....

I race in all the divisions (except 4) and really there are only a few that mess around...and maybe only 1 that had had any success.....

Maybe its just D7 Not to pick on anyone. I raced another D7 driver this year at Indy. I think he took more then his share of time to get in. I bumped in and I looked over and he never moved.
Oh well Rock sorry about hanging you out in Joliet earlier this year. lol

[CBS]

it couldn't have been bad...because I don't remember it.....

Ed sits 20 feet behind the line....and doesn't move till you stage....

I always give one chance and the next time i race them its on. One time someone took forever to stage so the next time i let them do the burnout then i let them sit ... then when i was ready i did my burnout then they put the first light on then i let them sit some more then they staged and after that we raced. The guy behind me after the race stopped and said that was great. After that this person stopped being an A H O L E. just my 2 cents.


PA ... still no picture???

[CBS]

Asta and I had a barn burner many years ago at the Keystone's, long before courtesy staging or Auto start........... Both of us knew in the staging lanes neither would stage first........ After the burn out , it took nearly 45 seconds for either of us to even get close to the tree, much to Buster Couch's displeasure. ....Once we finaly staged , Buster took over, and proceded to give us both a lesson in staging etiquet. After about 30 seconds ,when the RPM's started to come down ,and the converters were melting , he activated the tree...... I lost it, but somehow John managed to nail it with a 00 lite. ..... Later while he was taking a break, he saw both of us in the lanes ,and as only Buster could, reminded us that neither of us could win against him!. ... Thats whats missing today, when a racer continously plays the same game, only the racer in the other lane can make an attempt to disrupt the other racers game. ...... Tom

Hey Rock, no offense taken. I was just giving my point of view, as I was there and witnessed what went on. Everybody has there idiosincricies, but my theory is just get in and let's race. No games...In fact I do better when someone tries to burn me down, it gives me time for my thick head to concentrate.
