Jun 28, 2012 · There is more to staging than simply rolling your car up to the starting line and taking off. There are staging techniques and tricks that will help you maximize elapsed times or reaction times—and once you master them, you can use them to win more races, more often.

Nov 25, 2014 · When staging your car, you will first “break” the Pre-Stage beam (first arrow), and then the Stage beam (second arrow). You cannot see the beam cross the track, but it is emitted from the holes in the box on the ground at the starting line.
