I agree with you. Leave it alone.
Back in the old days (when you could get 4 or 5 time runs. We would stage the car at an angle. Then straighten it out till we got a red then add just a bit. It worked back then Buster didn't like it much, I remember once Jerry Stein was staged so crooked he was pointing at the tree. Not many people back then knew once the first car redlit the second car could leave at any point in the tree and the lights would keep coming down to a green.
We shook a lot of people up by leaving on the second (out of 5) amber. The catching the car and just blipping it to stay ahead. Rumors abounded that we could run well into the tens LOL.
Without those rumors we would not have won Indy in 1980
