The sportsman classes should be just like the pros. You only need one light to start, and that is the stage. The problem to me is racers putting deep on the window, and expect special treatment, when they stage. It is something extra that is not needed or wanted. The prestagr was to just tell you , your getting close to the stage. It adds to the confuline, easily when the slower time wins the round due to reaction time being lower and a slower et. I think NHRA did it to take out some of the variation in this technique of rolling. It is stupid to me that I roll in and the prestage goes out and I am staged, but I go red. Just because I let the top bulb go out. If the rule is that great, then the pros should do the same thing. I have to roll in to get good lites, and I run super gas. If the top bulb flickers I am red. But if the bottom bulb flickers, cause you too shallow, well I believe that have a fix in the timing system for that, and you don't go red. I want it just like the pros. I roll in and the top bulb goes out, so what I am staged. Also could be for the rule is that you know where you are when the top bulb goes out, and can adjust you delay, or what ever to be even better. Let's race and do it like the pros. I believe it would liven thing up on the starting line
