That applies to slow cars as well. That means something even if you can barely run the index. Bracket racers started doing that many years ago for that very reason. Not for their lights.
I had a car so slow once I had to leave when the 4th (old tree) amber went out. Just something you have to learn to do if your car is that slow. You learn to do whatever your car requires.
Some of us have to use a blinder, and even block the top half of the bottom bulb to try to get a green light. Yes, that helps a little.

They were misinformed.

Funny, I've never had a problem shallow staging. I didn't deep stage when I could.
All depends on what you drive, and how you drive it. Of course you already knew that ;-)

I would expect anybody to know deep staging kills et on the clocks.

Why would anybody try to race something like that? If you chose something like that, you leave earlier on the tree. Or, make a sane choice for a race car. Why would anybody want to race a 5000# LTD?

It appears The JATO bottle was also an option on the GM big car product line...

Billy would be smart enough to know how to drive it.
