Going DEEP....

[Michael Beard]

-=sigh=- Situational awareness is completely different from "Errmerrgerd! He's DEEP STAGING! Whatever am I going to do?!?"

Context matters.

How many times do you bump it in before you go red Mickey?

Seems like the bracket guys are having a winter season conniption fit - while trying to get an accommodation from their fellow racers. Looks like most don't race nhra so not sure whether they belong in this discussion. But there are others so lets continue on.

Removing the autostart is a lame idea that has no merit. And you cannot race your lane until both racers are fully staged. Until then both racers deal with events happening in the other lane. Finally this eyesore of a debate is what led to the downfall of deep staging in the first place. So I'm all for this little scam running all winter long and will chime in from time to time.

It depends on who im up against

It must be a Yankee thing, lots of great bracket racers around here and hardly ever see anyone deep staging. Only time I ever see someone do it is when Beard has one of his Gazillion dollar bracket races that draws all them hitters from up north trying to get a piece of the pie.
But hey whatever floats your boat, I'm like the guy up here that has won more Wallys than everyone else combined that has replied to this thread, I could care less if the dude in the other lane stages the thing backwards.

Actually, quite a few North Carolinian bracket racers go DEEP...some of them in 6.4 and quicker cars.


As a shallow stager in everything I race (including an 18.xx second pickup truck) I have never tried the deep staging thing...and it never bothers me when the guy in the other lane is going deep. Even in the Pinto, which is definitely a "slow stocker" by all accounts of the definition. However, I do think it is strange for this process to be completely outlawed in this class. But I wasn't an active driver yet whenever these rules came about...I was still just cutting my teeth in the Jr. Dragster ranks so when I raced stock for the first time I understood that the rule was such.

Hey Ellis,...I was watching my buddy Bob Mullaney,at Piedmount over Thanksgiving
On Motormania.Bob was just one of many that we're going deep as you said in fast cars.P.S. In 1998 Bob was the Division 1 stock champ,driving a 13.80 wagon.Going Deep and a 2 step( cheater)....correct me if I'm wrong ..but I believe it maybe the slowest car to win the Division....Also it was a car I was proud to be part of.....Joe Mocci
