Beth is right!

I always stage shallow in the same place then try and leave at the same place on the bulb. Knowing how your car reacts is important.

I recommend going to the test and tune at your local track and practice staging and leaving, don't bother running hard down the strip, just practice reaction times until you feel you have your consistency down.

Good luck.

You have found the difference between GOOD drivers and GREAT drivers, reaction time consistency. I believe it's a gift. The average racer can do things to improve it, but it just comes naturally to the best drivers in this sport.

Lets not forget about Motivation! A key item to get your brain to function at the highest level.
Needing to win and the desire to do well plays a big role over just having some fun racing.

Dan Fletcher is currently at 62 NHRA national event wins as of last week in Seattle,,,he looking to repeat his western swing sweep of 1994. Hes 2/3 of the way there as he won in Denver also 2 weeks ago.
Of course the guys on the TV coverage won't mention it on the Full Throttle broadcast, like they should, but hopefully they will say something on the Lucas broadcast, whenever that is.
Good luck Dan,,we're pulling for you............................... Danny Durham

You hit the nail on the head Larry. Having a car that`s repeatable is big as well.
