Default footbrake help

I need to do something different or practice more as yesterday I only won one round. Sucks we only get one time trial on Sundays.

I use the stage rpm to adjust reaction times, around 2000 rpm. GTO 60 foots 1.64

If I bring up the rpm after I stage, sometimes there is not enough time to look down at the tach and back up before the lights start. Tach is mounted on the steering column ( street car ). I have tried to go by sound to gauge rpm and I do get close.

I just turned all four brake drums and put on new pads, Yesterday I tried bringing the rpms up after pre-stage and move to the stage light, but the car seems to lunge forward. That is probably why I red light yesterday, too far into the stage light.

I thought about a light for stage rpm. Anyone use these?

or a dual stage tach/light, not sure what the model number is

Any other ideas?
