Re: Going DEEP....
Can't guarantee it but pretty sure you were in the left lane. Also think the blocker was on the right side of the helmet. Tell me about that darn contraption, did it help with the sun? I need something like that for the first round at Gainesville.

Re: Going DEEP....
Toby, check with Jody. I'm sure he remembers because he was not happy with the outcome. But like many people said at the time, he still continues to win races. You coming back anytime soon?

Re: Going DEEP....
Gotta love these deep staging guys with selective memories. http://www.dragracingonline.com/goindeep/iv_5.html

Re: Going DEEP....
Toby - I remember the poll - but not all (actually any) of the details - or how I answered. if I remember correctly it might've been as far back 2000-2004 somewhere in there.
There have to be others who recall getting it. Quote:

I think the main reason most people didn't like deep staging was because most of the racers doing it at the time were good racers who won a lot, so sure, it was definitely causing a lot of problems for the racers in the opposing lane. |

Re: Going DEEP....
Every Stock racer on the planet knew about it in advance, including you. You guys got a fair chance and lost by a ton.

Re: Going DEEP....
So, you're calling me a liar, eh? I guess it's pretty obvious why I don't post here much anymore. I'm out.

Re: Going DEEP....
I have a normal stocker and also a slow 13 to 14 second FWD stocker with 26" front tires. For me, deep staging the slow car is about the only way to cut a decent light leaving on the last yellow. I normally try to bump in deep without cutting off the top light.
From my perspective from both sides of the fence, I can't imagine what difference it makes to the driver of the car in the other lane. |
