I feel like I came in on the middle of that conversation.

LOL watched him do it a thousand times in Bristol ! Tried to figure it out. Now I know!

what exactly is he doing? i can't turn it up loud enough to hear.

I've watched it a bunch of times and I cant really tell either...Wish somebody would explain

I believe he is knocking both bulbs on and when he grabs the brakes hard it falls back to pre-stage, I may be wrong though. TIre flex???

why would you do this? doesn't make sense......? of course I might not be smart enough to understand

It would screw with some folks, I guess.

Since Kenny "It's 4:20" Underwood is in the video, there is really no telling what the heck they are doing.....

C....puff, puff, give.......

Interesting concept....I'm still confused

Ok, is he starting the time out time sequence ? I have driven a piperack a handfull of times, so it didnt make a lot of sense to me either.

That is the way he stages. After doing a burnout he rolling at the right speed when you see the pre stage light come on JAM the brakes and then let go real quick then jam them again. Its just for straight staging in a dragster instead of having to back up and get all in line again. its all in the flex of the chassis and rear end.

It's isn't A big deal it's just the way to make sure that you have to take very few ,very small bumps to stage it just save time in the staging process. People all over question how a few of us turn the stage light on and off and the car doesn't stop rolling. i was just showing my buddy ronnie how i do it with out putting the car in reverse or touching any button. I had no idea he was putting it on youtube

Troy I haven't seen it so I'm just asking. Are just rolling in a little quick and nailing the brakes when you see the stage light? Not sure that would work with a door car because of the front brakes.

yea thats all it is scott and it works in anything that rolls . when i stop im like a 1" or less from staging

I have seen Kenny do it in several different door cars.

so the obvious question is......
Do you stage accidentally sometimes doing it?

hey troy my bro u need a ty rankl driven lessin yet,,,, bwaaaaaaaaaaa

I like the idea of tightening up your distance bulb to bulb. I know some guys like to roll back and leave the top light on. The only thing I will say about Troy's staging procedure (NOT INTENDED FOR TROY AT ALL) is I have seen some people get in to deep that when it cleared the bottom bulb it had activated the stage timer when the other driver rolled into prestage.

Troy, have you had any issues with tracks that don't let you back up and leave the top bulb on. A couple places here make you clear both lights. Would your staging procedure be considered the last forward motion?

Yea Shawn I have had tracks that have "track rules" or can't read the rule book say things about it . As far as the starting auto start counter , if the other car is pre staged I don't do it . I just dont like taking the chance.
Ty I have had that class more times than i ever wanted lol
