There is a whole art form to just launching the vehicle, let alone actual racing.
Some strips use the LED lights now so you don't get the whole "pre-glow" effect. Deep staging is rolling forward until the pre-stage light turns out. You'll red light if you deep stage and leave on the yellow.
Shallow staging gives you a little roll out so the vehicle gets moving before tripping the timer.
