Rules for staging? - Page 2

Art,

The rules regarding staging are on page 41 of the Rulebook and they take up almost an entire page, too much for me to type in on a holiday.

If you're inquiring about deep staging, it's not permitted in Stock or Super Stock. If you're interested in courtesy staging, it's mandatory in Stock and Super Stock. If you deep stage inadvertently, it triggers a red light. If you light both bulbs before your opponent lights the pre-stage, it's instant disqualification.

If neither of these was the genesis of your question, ask me and I'll be happy to look-up whatever detail you specify.

Art, Once you have prestaged first the other guy can go in as fast as they like. They still had to light one bulb at a time, and once they are in now with three bulbs lit the autostart clock has started for you to be staged or timed out. If you feel the need to stage first, then I suggest you let the other guy prestage first and then roll in at a faster pace. Autostart has cleaned up about 90% of the staging games. It helps prevent getting hometowned by a track.

Okay. This probably will not be the last thing I learn. I thought different, but now I know.
It will actually be better for me. It will give me more time.
