No worries Bob, I am a stick racer. I have raced automatics as well. There isn't really an advantage to "just rolling in" for me anyway" every racer has stuff to do after three bulbs are lit. I do think it is plenty of time for stick or auto racers to get prepared though. I guess I have never been one to always stage first or last all of the time. If we ever get to race, I will certainly let you prestage first if you prefer. LOL.
Six "I's" this time. A new personal best.

This is NOT illegal in the eyes of Auto-Start.....
But, almost all automatic cars stop after they light the pre-stage and have there own procedure to run through before staging. Such as bringing to engine up to leave RPM and bumping in or rolling in at idle, set the brakes and bring it up on the the 2-step
My comment was if I (ME) stage last against a stick car then it forces the stick car to stop after they light the pre-stage and then they just can't roll in in light both.......
