Re: Over Staging
Does anyone know the reason for the policy change from NHRA?

Re: Over Staging
I thought that was always the rule.

Re: Over Staging
I think some guys are checking the rollout(depth) to see just where the last staging light "really" is OR how far in can I go before I'm in danger of red lighting or deep staging

Re: Over Staging
Not sure what the new rule means..
So, if a guy accidentally burns out across the line, he's out? If a newbie doesn't courtesy stage, he's out? If a Jr. Dragster or Pro deep- stages, they're out ? Oh wait, they CAN deep -stage.

Re: Over Staging
Like Gregg and Mike I thought they removed deep staging and turning on both light then backing out. I think it use to mess up the staging timer. Every time I see it now I question why the same folks do it on a normal routine and are allowed. Usually I have to wait to make sure my dial is correct before I pre-stage as the pair in front are still running their race. I try not have a senior moment by mistake. Many years ago we did a couple dry hops after the burn out.

Re: Over Staging
I was watching the feed from Orlando when a stocker went in to deep during eliminations and didn't get a red. I thought he should have gone red. Maybe people questioned why not.
