Selective copy and paste is a liberal tactic
The extreme example I used had nothing to do with my staging style, some complain
I take too long! The example was meant to convey the human factor: The starter giving the advantage to one racer not only by holding the tree but ordering the shallow racer to stage and LETTING the deep racer burn his opponent down. Adding extra time to Autostart was a good compromise but that's not enough apparently.
Many of us have studied and understand the timing system, there is nothing in there for deep staging other than the blue light.
I actually spoke to Compulink years ago they had no interest in this unless enough tracks want it and can get paid for their programming time no different than anyone else. We live in a capitalist system where businesses respond to their customers. Racers are not customers of timing system manufacturers if tracks want the deep modification they should ask for for and get it, only problem with that is most of the country is NO BOX is there even the demand?
