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.
