Staging is a bit trickier for those that want to have the motor well spun up before they launch however. If you're not trying to beat someone to the finish line, ie. testing ETs, the tree doesn't even really matter. Just wait for the green to show you the timing circuit is active and launch it whenever you're ready.

To be brutal, just to avoid the red lights, the pro tree is the best way to go. I still managed to jump the start on one of my runs trying to power brake launch. The starter was nice enough to allow me to reset and get the run in anyway.
^^^ this right here.

...and Hank I just spit my coffee out.
