RPROGASA staging idea to speed up the races
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.

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.
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.....
