I saw a guy win the World Finals once, in a low 14-second Stocker, by staging the car very shallow, and, at a considerable angle to the starting line (crooked).... increasing his rollout by a bunch! Wasn't a heads-up race, so I'm not sure he accomplished much with that little trick, but the other car spotted him a tenth or two, and, when the tree came down, the quicker car red-lit. Might have been that unnerving aspect of seeing that slower car leaving what must have looked WAY early, but the second-to-leave car red-litl

I don't know if you could get away with that crooked staging, nowdays, but, it worked back then....
