Going DEEP....

You are going to have to look at the man in the mirror for the answer.

Not necessarily.
You had people voting against,...who had higher class cars, or stick shift cars, that never deep staged or never needed to, voting against it
You even had some who didn't even understand the concept, and they were voting against it too.
It wasn't even close to a fair poll, or representation.


This is the takeaway line from my friend, the late Dale Wilson's article:

"Here is my take on it. If I were racing Stock or Super Stock, I wouldn't care what the guy in the other lane did, as long as I had a fair chance to stage and go. "

Just one more instance of the whiners and malcontents making enough noise to get their way!

Deep staging and buttons on the steering wheel were outlawed because.....THEY didn't fit some racers AGENDAS........

You don't think it was because deep staging makes your ET show slower? You can run faster than the clocks show? Only very slow cars can get a green light doing that. What is right about some cars being able to actually break out, and not show it? The vast majority of cars can not get a green light that way. If it was ever put to a vote of the racers, it would lose.

Ed.....And you figured this out all on your own ? It was put to a vote, a select FEW voted to outlaw Deep Staging according to NHRA . Of course , NHRA also told us that there was a Break In at Wayne Co. Speed Shop years earlier sooo......pardon my skepticism

I never heard of a vote. If the racers voted, at least in SS, it would get voted down. Almost nobody could get a green light staging that deep. They don't make buttons THAT slow. LOL

Ed,...No disrespect but....
You don't think it was because deep staging makes your ET show shower?
You can run faster than the clocks show?......

So Ed if you swallow stage and drop it at the thousand you aren't showing what to can run either......

Only very slow cars can get a green light doing that...
Took my stocker to englishtown for a bracket race....80% of the cars dialing from 9.00 to 15.99 deep stage.....

Isn't that what I said, Joe? Of course, that is why many bracket racers do that. You can actually run a little quicker than the clocks show. That is the point.

Not sure how that is related.

Joe, evidently not all fast foot brake cars react fast. Before Eastexas Race Cars back halved my SS car I could deep stage and get a green light. Not now. Imediately had to go to 28" front tires, lower my 2 step RPM, and find a slower button. I still struggle with red lights. No way I could deep stage now and be green. Hard to imagin a good working nine second car reacting slow enough to be green while deep staging. That takes a slow reacting car-and-or-driver.

That's the rule. I'm done.
