    i won't go there anymore to race...

    They keep fouling me whenever I pre-stage to build up some boost. Sucks...

    There doesn't seem to be alot of ettiqutte with the track officials or with other racers whenever I'm at test & tunes there.

    Whenever I goto lineup, the other guy typically runs up to both staging lights before I even hit prestage. So when I prestage and start power-braking for a about 3 or 4 seconds, they foul me.

    No other driver ever prestages first, then lets me prestage and stage, before they themselves stage.

    Same thing if I do actually get someone with ettiqutte when I prestage first. They pre-stage and stage while i'm building up some boost still in pre-stage, then the track official still fouls me.

    I've only had one good run there when my dad actually went up to the guy and asked him to give me some #$#@ breathing room, and on that launch I broke all 4 loose and got my closest to 5MT time ever.

    well last night I seemed to always get paired up to some 10sec monster rwd so I was sitting waiting the whole night. Just do like Strayen and sit back and let the asshats run solo.

    You need to be staged....just get up there, prestage and stage ASAP, and let it rip.

    Well, I guess I was just taught old fashioned; that doing that is bad form, and I didn't have this problem when i was at Dallas before they closed. :/

    Anyways, it takes a moment or two for me to build up boost and get a respectable launch. If I don't build boost until the lights chase, then thats not enough time to even blip the guage past vacuum.

    well, just get it staged fully next time, then get it on. They shouldnt foul you if you are fully staged.
