Jody, I'm not the natural driver that you are but I've got 3 "spots" that I'm somewhat comfortable with. Between them and making changes to the car, I can get it in the game. My biggest problem (other than old age) is when I start thinking.

Just like checkers they make a move I make a move according to the rules. Most go to the races to win within the rule’s structure. To my knowledge nobody did anything outside the rules.

Just my usual warped sense of thinking, but I contend that if you can't hit .020s or better most of the time, whether deep or shallow , you should probably work on your own program , rather than someone else's.

No argument here

I regularly deep stage my Corvette when bracket racing at my local tracks because the car does leave as hard as a real race car.
Here's away of looking at it in NHRA, why does super street have a .5 tree and all the other super classes have a .4 tree? NHRA took into consideration the minimum weight difference between the classes. So if you take a lower class car, it can't accelerate as fast as a upper class car, so deep staging would be a tool for making a level playing field.
Please no hate mail, it's how we race in south Florida. My buddy won the IHRA World championship in a1986 Cougar with a bone stock 302 that's been in the car for over 15 years, it usually goes 2.25 seconds to the 60' he puts on his window "XXX DEEP".

Somewhat akin to being the last car to the lanes...

Going by the rules is always a good thing. If the rules don’t mention being last as an infraction it must be ok.
