Well we sucked bad today.

I’ve never had it happen but he was in so lightly the second bulb went out, bumped in again and backed out again. When you hit the transbrake the chassis relaxes so some guys tie in the line lock to hold everything. I’m not talented enough to stage that lightly. In box class if you watch some of the dragsters when they back up the will stop in the prestaged light with their front wheels turned slightly. To fully stage they just turn the wheel.

The reason i asked about the transmission type is that if it's a powerglide there is a fix for it. I used to have to go in at a high idle to avoid backing out, I tried a bunch of parts to fix it. Now sonnex has come out with a servo kit that absolutely locks the car down when the button is pushed. The part# is 2882110K, rockauto is the cheapest place to get it.
