Red Light Answer

[Pat Joffrion]

Quote from response by Mike Rice: "The shallow stage deal is very real, especially without the StageLoc program."

From Reading Mike's reply, it appears that Stage-Loc was not used. I was under the impression that all national event tracks had it installed years ago. However, it has to be set to be "ON" for each category in the tower computer.

If it was not turned on (per Mike's reply), then someone in the tower screwed up! Since the stage beam are recessed at least six inches inside of PVC tubing with less than three-eighths of an opening, I don't believe the camera flash could in any way reflect into such a small hole to reach the receiver.

Conclusion: Without Stage-Loc operating, the slightest movement of the front tire more than likely caused the red light. Kind of sucks to have the software disabled! I would recommend that someone needs to verify that it is enabled for stock and super stock at each race.
