Went through this with deep staging a few years ago. (note: I have never deep staged, ever) It ain't goin to happen this way. Get the track owners on board (they are Compulink customers) you might have a fighting chance. If you can get enough tracks "across the country" to adopt the idea then NHRA will have to consider it. You still may never see it at a national or divisional until it proven at the bracket racing level.
Ohh, by the way what happened to deep staging. You can but you're on you're own. No holding the tree any more.

I deep stage all the time with my bracket car because it will not leave like a race car, I drive it to and from the track and it gets 25 mpg. (01 Corvette) The only thing about deep staging is that the car is positioned differently on the starting line. What would happen if they took the prestage light away, most people would never find the starting line. "Pre"stage means before you are staged, and that is it. The problem with the people thinking that deep staging is not right is because that is what they were taught. You don't have to wait for me or any of my friends to deep stage, we are usually in before you have even done your burnout.

This is true, unless you are racing against someone whose sole purpose in life is to try and screw with deep stagers. Even if they had to totally change their routine to do it. They know who they are. After they got rid of deep staging I'm surprised they still raced. What's left in life if you can't F with deep stagers?

BTW Toby, thank you for the Pomona coverage.

In D2 Summit racing finals, sometimes it's a race just to the starting line for the deep stagers. I'm pretty set in my ways with my routine, not much bothers me. So they can try to mess around, but I've been doing it so long that unless the starter makes me back out, I'm staged ready to go.
Some day just for messing with people, they should turn off the prestage lights, then you'll see alot the people who know how to stage and the ones that need the all the lights, bells and whistles to get it done.
