I've encountered "Mop Holders" never bothered me but I have had a few guys just sit back until the Starter ordered them to get going, or go home.

Never bothered me either and definitely doesn’t bother my son who doesn’t get rattled once his helmet is on and more important, he knows how auto start works which so many still don’t have a clue about.

In my case, I hope it gives the illusion I know what I'm doing...


The tree is always 40-42 feet from the stage beams. Wink just saying.....

That is the NHRA / IHRA / Compulink / TSI / Accutime / Port A Tree standard setup.

Top stage lamp 92" from surface.

I'm sure there must be someplace weird.....
