I was trying to creep, constant slow motion, maybe I'll try bumping. Do you bump the whole distance between the pre and stage lights?

Try short shallow pump of brake pedal to get to second stage bulb. After you get a feel for it you can get real accurate with staging depth IMHO. It does take practice to get staged and bring rpm's right in the amount of time you have. No substitute for practice. Unless you're one of those unconscious people that were born with it lol.

That is funny. Three weeks ago I raced, red light in the semi's. I think that was the run that when I looked down at the tach after staging, the engine rpm was too high. I said I think that was the run, so I can't keep track of my conscious mind.

That is why last week I wanted to try something different, bring rpm's up at pre-stage.
