Awesome!!

After watching that video, there is a little more ET left in how you staged the car. It looked like you were into the second beam a pretty good bit.

I'm thinking hes saying you are on the verge of deep staging? not sure either.

Yup, Chad is onto what I meant. Being a bracket racer we try and find every little bit of ET and stage the car as consistently as possible. When I drive a car for someone I try and stage it as shallow as possible. The way you quickly rolled into the second beam looked to me like you had room to be a little more shallow in the beams. Now it isnt going to be much, but there is over a tenth from deep staged to shallow staged. What I like to do is turn on the prestage bulb, bring the car up on the footbrake to my launch RPM, then bump the brake pedal to move the car forward a little bit at a time. I understand this may be a little tougher with a turbo car, but I think it can still be done. What this does is allows you to preload everything before you turn on the stage bulb. If you turn on the stage bulb and then bring up the RPM you are going to launch at, you actually push the car forward a little bit and this takes some of the headstart away that you can get on the clocks.
