Tree was already started so it didn't go red. The deep , no r/t must be part of that software package..Of course, it's shut off for the Pros.

If it was ever put to a vote of the racers, it would lose.

So Ed if you swallow stage and drop it at the thousand you aren't showing what to can run either......

Took my stocker to englishtown for a bracket race....80% of the cars dialing from 9.00 to 15.99 deep stage.....

Isn't that what I said, Joe? Of course, that is why many bracket racers do that. You can actually run a little quicker than the clocks show. That is the point.

Not sure how that is related.

Joe, evidently not all fast foot brake cars react fast. Before Eastexas Race Cars back halved my SS car I could deep stage and get a green light. Not now. Imediately had to go to 28" front tires, lower my 2 step RPM, and find a slower button. I still struggle with red lights. No way I could deep stage now and be green. Hard to imagin a good working nine second car reacting slow enough to be green while deep staging. That takes a slow reacting car-and-or-driver.

That's the rule. I'm done.

what defines a "good working nine second car" to you?

Guess I should have said: Nobody I know has a nine second car that reacts slow enough to deep stage. I guess a driver could be that slow reacting. Again, nobody I know.
