Thanks for the clarification, I understand the whole gaurd beam theory now. But would you agree that an OEM bike would get and accurate time because it sits up higher than a drag chassis. Also, what about the fact that Jeffs drag bike was blinking the stage lights just by rocking it back and forth alittle. It seems to me and believe I know I am no expert by any means, but I am trying to learn, that if by rocking the bike trips the beam than as soon as he would launch that would trip the beam also. If it helps any the stage lights were only about an inch off the sand and efforts were takin to make sure the sand was always level and not blocking the beams. I think there is pictures on Planet Sand, the beams are inside the cut in half buckets.
Also did the Planet Sand race have gaurd beams?
Thanks

Planet Sand most definitely has guard beams.
Are you referring to the staging lights blinking or the red light blinking? If it is the staging lights blinking, he is cutting the beam every once and awhile........but not necessarily starting the clock.

Keep in mind this is friday evenning during test and tune. By rocking the bike back and forth the top pre stage light would blink there for giving a red light. All I know is that the lights were very sensitive which kept anyone from taking advantage of the system.

Very good info.
PS: The only way to compare track times is to be at the same track at the same time running headsup. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Congrats on the good times laid down[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
rcoop- if a track is setup right, you can't stage deep enough to turn off the pre-stage light without redlighting.
