"Courtesy Staging" in the Profesional Categories?

Lew Silverman · 06-26-2017, 10:59 AM

While watching a replay of the NHRA event from, I believe, Topeka, I noticed one of the Professional category competitors "double-bulbed" their opponent during eliminations. Both vehicles staged and the run was completed. Is "courtesy staging" not a requirement in the professional classes, or just in Sportsman? I know a lot of us try to play "mind-games" with our opponents, but it just seemed strange that nothing was said at the time. Any thoughts?

No courtesy staging for the PROS

Nope, they play by different rules, no courtesy, besides it would take too long to back one up. then the opponent would cry about that....
