Going DEEP....

[Bill Koski]

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

[MR DERBY CITY]

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

[Ed Wright]

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

Those of us who run slower stockers would benefit from being able to deep stage.
As we are in the minority, we lost the vote. I have to leave when I see the second amber going out, not an easy thing to teach an old racer.

Pro's are the only ones NHRA are interested in you would think by now everybody would realize that.........

[cicero819]

NHRA wanted to get rid of the slower cars, this would shorten time allowed for stock eliminator and would remove many from running competitively for class at National events. Look what has happen in Class, hardly any cars populate the lower echelons.Now more time can be spent letting the pros have ten guys cleaning their tires before a run.CR.

I have a time card from the summer nationals this year, I accidentally went deep.... On the reaction time it just says DEEP. It was R3.
