I understand now. Thanks a lot for your detailed explanations.

How to change your reaction times & ET with staging??? You should never want to change your rt. You always want to get a perfect rt when racing against someone. I don't believe that there's any advantage in deep staging since you take away your rollout. I always advice persons to stage as shallow as possible to utilize as much rollout as possible when the ambers/yellow lights are on. Practice getting a perfect rt when shallow staging. That way when the lights go green and you leave the stage beam, your et timer will start at 0.000 seconds but your vehicle is already moving with a rolling start. The rolling start you get also helps a lot with your et and top speed.

WHEN DOES THE TIMER START IN YOUR LANE?? The rt timer starts from -0.500 seconds (perfect rt set as 0.000 with a 0.5 sec sportsman tree) when the last amber or yellow light turns on and stops when the stage light goes off ( vehicles leaves the stage beam ). The stage sensor is responsible for detecting when the vehicle leaves the start line. The stage sensor is what the system relies on to stop the rt timer and instantaneously start the et timer.
