Big head whose cars are better built, quicker/faster than yours! The fact that DEEP staging was outlawed by the vocal minority, your statements about it prove you don't have a clue same as many to it's effect on reaction time, 60 foot and ET.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Ed Wright you may understand the mechanics of a race car. But you do not understand the concept of deep staging and how it affects rt and et at all.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

that's debatable too based on some of his replies here.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Just to mention an article done in a magazine in the 70s I believe. It tested the et affects of a standing start, running start or rolling start. The first revolution of the tire is the most costly et wise. So I suggest that shallow staging takes the most of that portion of your et out of the actual recorded time. Deep staging causes your recorded time to include more of that slow rotation but you break the beam relatively earlier in your progress forward which makes the slow rotation part of your et. I am not sure how this would affect your race or cause you to look slow compared to dial in.

The best advice I can give the Deep guys is to contact your SRAC representative, put it to a vote with everyone that has raced in stock or super stock in the past couple years. Maybe a little PR campaign before the vote to educate people. Or if you can get the right person behind you wouldn't even need the vote. Otherwise this is just another useless debate clogging up the airwaves and taking up bandwidth!

Re: Going DEEP....
 

yea, but it shows just how many don't have a clue!

Re: Going DEEP....
 

It makes your et appear slower than shallow staging. It does not actually slow the car. If you have to do that to go rounds you need to work harder.

Sorry to interrupt the party...............haven't posted on this broad in long time, (gee,I wonder why).

Just wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!

Carry on with your deep thoughts, very educational and most entertaining.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

Cooter, Your response is correct and well taken.

Re: Going DEEP....
 

It does not appear to make your et slower, it actually does make your et slower. Understanding rollout and how it affects et and rt are like the basics. Deep staging and why they do it has nothing to do with what you are implying.
