According to Agent 1320, the yellow staging lights may have gone the way of the do-do bird at national events.

What happens when a car deep stages? Does the white line go away, or does the top half of the circle go away?
I kinda like the design personally - it resembles an injector in many ways.
top half goes away from what i saw on tv... one of the Peds deep staged in elims.. .. at first i thought the tree broke, it looked so odd...lol...

Looks ok but kind of hard to see the blue l.e.d. from the stands(unless you are really close). The best comment I heard yesterday was a guy constantly telling his wife(and anyone within 50' of him) that the turbo pro mod cars was having a hard time adjusting to the new lights, I didn't have the nerve to tell him they were just making sure boost was up. Seemed like a know-it-all and maybe would have been offended.

Okay guys, I just finished watching Houston qualifying and I don't think I like the new blue staging lights, mainly cause I can't see them on TV as well as the old lights. I have a 52" high def and the new blue light are not nearly as visible as the old yellow light bulbs. Guess I am old school and wish they would quit messing with things. Oh, and go back to 1/4 mile as well.

I thought the drivers liked them, and isn't that want matters?
I can't see the tree standing at 750 feet down track anyway, habit I got into at OCIR, and it's pass the speakers so I don't have to hear the T-shirt clowns, or Bob's same Jokes: "I'll get back to you on that"

I kind of like them myself. I didn't have any problems making them out on the TV set.
Racers P & M'ed when they first started using the tree instead of the flagman. Many claimed it took their ability to deke the flagman away.
Someone's ALWAYS going to be upset when you change things.

I got real sick right before the ADRL event. Felt like I let a bunch of folks down so I've been laying low. Came down sick Tuesday and just decided to "mind over matter" it.
I can't believe how little chatter there's been over the event, perhaps I can find some visual aides tonight to help the conversation.

Lets see, you're old school and you wish they would quit messing with things but you have a 52" High Def TV!
