Index Racing

Bandimere started a new 12.00 class 2 years ago. No electronics, no throttle stops, no deep staging. Trans brake and nitrous ok. Pretty interesting, some cross the stripe at 85 mph, some at 115.

Why no Deep Staging? This run on a 500 or 600 Pro Tree?

.500 pro tree, just like Super Street. Courtesy staging in affect.

I like the deep staging rule from what Todd posted, except I never really cared if guys courtesy stage or not...auto start takes care of anything I would be worried about :

"Deep staging allowed, but auto start will be on at all times. Courtesy staging
advised."

And, yes, I am a deep stager...since about 1993. :-)
I will definitely seek out Index Racing again in the coming years once I retire from work...

You won't get lonely out there all by yourself, like you might with a one or two second head start. It's fun if you don't mind a little company breathing down your neck.

NHRA's S/ST .500 pro tree is really .470. The S/G and S/C .400 trees are really .370 even though the rule book says .400 and .500.

I think that you should ban trans brake and allow deep staging.

Might as well bracket race. If you wanna drag race 4 tenths pro tree.

400 pro tree or even 370 pro tree staged shallow isn't a problem. You just gotta be strong in making adjustments to the car. This is a street car with a souped up N/A 23 degree sbc. Stock all steel Nova with the front and back seat taken out with one Kirkey seat, stock instrument panel and dash, with roll up windows on 10x28's. It's a myth these cars won't move on a 400 or even 370 pro tree staged shallow. 4400 leave chip.
