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.

Nobody told me about this poll or sent me a ballot. Since you seem to know a lot about this poll, how many racers voted on it? What were the percentages? I never saw any results. Maybe you can fill me in.

Yes, because we all know NHRA always makes solid, well thought out decisions.

And to the person who always raced to the line trying screw the deep stagers, karma always catches up.

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?

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.

Well, no kidding, obviously I knew about the poll *AFTER* it happened. Like I said, nobody sent me a ballot or asked me if I wanted to vote on it. And I never saw any results printed anywhere, did you? Like how many racers were polled, what were the totals for and against. All I knew is they were outlawing it. Did any deep stagers get to vote on it???

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.

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

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.

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.
