Deep Staging, why not?

[Casey Miles]

The best argument "for" deep staging is in the super categories, why does NHRA allow Super Street to use a .5 tree (like deep staging against a .4 tree) and S/G,S/C use a .4 tree. It's because the Super Street cars have to weight a lot more then the other two super classes. It's really not fare to the lower class Stock Eliminator cars not to be able to deep stage do to the weight to HP which makes it difficult to get a good consistent reaction time. I know that I'm going to hear from some of the lower class cars saying that they don't have a problem, but at my local track we are allowed to deep stage in all categories.
I personally bracket race a 2015 Corvette which has a pretty consistent high 1.80's 60' and I deep stage it to tighten up the reaction times to be competitive.
