Definition

This a term most used in drag racing.

Prior to the actual drag race, participants stage their cars to the starting point of the race. They do this by moving the cars across two pair of light beams that are spanning across their lane. As the front tire moves into the first beam, it breaks the path of light one one side of lane aimed at a photo transistor on the other side, which triggers the Pre-Stage light bulbs (typically two, in case one was to burn out) on the tree for that lane to turn on. Breaking the second set of the beam of light in the lane will light the Staged bulbs (also typically two) on the tree for that lane.
