There is some discussion about drivers going in deep before his opponent has lit one set of bulbs (pre stage). It is not a game that driver is playing it is a timing thing.

Once the starter lets go of the button you are on autostart. Starter lets go when three sets of lights are on. That means the driver with one set on has about 10 seconds to get staged which means light the bottom bulbs. Then there is a random number of second 2-3 or 4 that the tree will light. If you are trying to deep stage, then you are in trouble with with time which is why some drivers will light three.

If a driver lights three or deep stages before you light one, you have control of the tree.

The best deep staging strategy is to light top bulbs and figure how to go from one set of bulbs to deep rather than staged then deep cause you won't have the time.


Other solution is starter waits for deep stager(s) to stage before letting go of the button but a lot of tracks and organizations do not require that. ]]> GM Performance Parts LSX Shootout REDGAR http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/gm-performance-parts-lsx-shootout/1201875-deep-staging-tips.html LSX Shootout on TV Nov 1 and Nov 2 http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/gm-performance-parts-lsx-shootout/1199561-lsx-shootout-tv-nov-1-nov-2-a.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:25:57 GMT Sorry I forgot to put this on here last week.

In a prepared statement, Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE-Symbol: DVD) announced that it was ceasing all operations at Memphis Motorsports Park and that it would not be promoting any events in Memphis in 2010. The oval track events have been transferred to Gateway International Raceway, another Dover-owned property.

For those that do not know, about a week before the shootout we found a #8 cylinder dead on the motor and removed it from the car in a matter of 4 hours, stripped down to the block. During this time, I contacted LME (Late Model Engines) on a Friday evening and Bryan graciously said we could bring the motor to him ASAP. At this point I was worried I would not make it to the Shootout. In a matter of 2 days, with Bryan understanding my urgency, LME had the shortblock back together a ready to go, which then we made a 4-hour drive to pick it up 4 days before the Thursday pre-party. Talk about outstanding! Also, LG Motorsports came through for me and had a set of Cometic head gaskets I picked up locally; Thank goodness! 3 days before the Shootout we finally had the motor in and running strong, but the Texas rain would not allow us to test/run the car AT ALL before the Shootout. We had no idea what the car would run. At the pre-party, my in-laws won a pair of drag tires, which will save me $ next year on tires. Despite a few flaws this year with the Shootout, as always it was the best time I had all year.

Track Runs:
*We broke our previous records at MMP, and was excited to say the least. Check out those wheel stand pictures! Wow! (Thanks to BillyBob for the great pics.) The 10.50 runs are me letting out right after 4th gear; and, yes, this is an All Motor 346 running on a 4L60E!! :eek2: Do we see 9's in the future?

10.33 @ 127.46
10.20 @ 129.86 :eek2:
10.54 @ 107.09
10.51 @ 107.15
10.58 @ 103.68
10.57 @ 105.54
10.32 @ 119

MANY, MANY THANKS to GMPP for the $1,000 prize! I am so grateful for this. Also, NMCA for your hard work and dedication to help make this Event possible each year. Thanks to Madman & Co. for helping us set up the suspension correctly, LME for delivering great service in a time of need, and LG Motorsports for having gaskets that no one else would've had until too late! I'm already looking forward to next year! :cheers:

Once again, Judson Massingill and the Hugger Orange Camaro entered the All Motor Class. With some updates to the engine and a new Liberty gear box, Team SAM shattered records and brought home the champagne.

SAM's '99 Camaro ran low E.T., high mph, and won the race. The car qualified #1 with an 8.65@156.90. During first round of eliminations, the '99 SS surpassed the previous E.T. with an 8.58@157.60, weighing 3520 lbs! In the final, Judson Massingill kept it between the lines after the car went hard right on the launch. He held on for the win, with a 9.06@156.60.

All of us at SAM would like to give special "thanks" to Royal Purple, Wiseco, MSD, Total Seal, Comp Cams, Cometic Gaskets, Beck Mechanical, Don Bailey, Dave Braswell, Clevite Bearings, BMR, and E.R.L. our All Motor Class sponsor.
